Weekly summary, Apr 25-May 1 2024
This week, I have been looking at four separate issues: layout/presentation, integration of TTS engines, images, and multi-word expressions. Layout/presentation Branislav, Cathy and I had a productive session where we fixed many small problems and made C-LARA look substantially nicer. This is described in more detail in an earlier post. Integrating TTS engines I’ve added… Continue reading

This week, I have continued with items from the “Further work” section of the report. The AI and I have extended the “Activity tracker” functionality, so that it can now act as an improved version of Rina’s “Continuity journal” idea, and we have started discussing an idea which would combine the “bilingual lexicon” and “C-LARA… Continue reading

I’ve still been focussing on the report, but that involved adding two pieces of functionality which are directly relevant to it, for satisfaction questionnaires and funding requests. I was also unable to resist the temptation to create another C-LARA picturebook. Report We now have about 95 pages, and I have filled many holes in the… Continue reading

The main thing I’ve been doing this week is still the report, but I’ve also been improving processing for human-recorded audio. This will be important when Stéphanie and Anne-Laure visit Mar 10-17, since the plan is to create content based on the Iaai songs that Stéphanie has recorded and transcribed. Report The text continues to… Continue reading

Paul und Emma: a C-LARA picture book
We needed an extended example for our upcoming second C-LARA report, and I was in any case curious, so yesterday I tried constructing a short children’s picture book in C-LARA. The idea I suggested was a fanciful but responsible story for small children, in German, about a penguin and a polar bear that get together… Continue reading

This week, I have been working on “reading histories”, additions to simple C-LARA, cleaning up the layout, and better support for Japanese: ‘Reading histories’ Reading histories now support phonetic texts. They seem to work as intended, but I haven’t yet tested them thoroughly enough. Note that you can only include a text in a reading… Continue reading

Creating texts out of images with simple C-LARA
I have extended simple C-LARA so that we have more ways to create a text. The initial screen now looks like this: The most exciting possibility is the second one, which uses GPT-4V to do the work; as it says, you just upload an image and tell the AI how to use it. Here are… Continue reading

“Simple C-LARA”
We now have an initial version of “Simple C-LARA” on the UniSA server. If you select “Create new C-LARA project using simple C-LARA” from the top-level menu, you will get a stripped-down interface where you just specify a title, the text and annotation languages, and a prompt. In response to a single button press, C-LARA… Continue reading

Weekly summary: Jan 4-10, 2024
This week, I have been concentrating on three things: social network functionality, presentation, and an initial integration of DALL-E-3 into C-LARA. There have also been some interesting discussions with Claudia, Christèle and Pauline about moving towards initial user testing. Social network I’ve already posted about the social network part here. We now have a substantially… Continue reading

Weekly summary, Dec 21-27 2023
Phonetic texts Claudia wondered if we could use the phonetic text functionality for Romanian. There is a phonetic lexicon available at ipa-dict, so it seemed straightforward, but in actual fact I found I had to fix a number of small issues. I have now installed the phonetic lexica for Romanian and Icelandic, and things are… Continue reading
