The title of his course was:

“Computational Morphology: trends, finite-states and open-source”
(Evolución de la morfología computacional: nuevas posibilidades)

Foma, the application developed by Mans Hulden (University of Helsinki), was the main tool used in this tutorial.

As the CLA Centre is celebrating its 40th  anniversary this year , they have sent the Ixa Group a sculpture (see the picture) to commemorate our co-operation.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

And  CONGRATULATIONS  to Eloina, Julio Vitelio, Leonel, and all those compañeros that created this research centre and have been promoting it!

IXA group has been collaborating with CLA for 10 years. One of the fruits of this collaboration is the third edition of the Diccionario Básico Escolar (DBE). This dictionary is coded in XML and has been implemented using leXkit, an application developed by Ixa Group for dictionary managing.

Mans Houlden from the University of Helsinki is going to be in Donostia working in collaboration with the Ixa Group until May 2011. He is an expert in Finite-State Machine Construction Methods. He is the creator of Foma, a free tool for constructing finite-state automata and transducers.

The Ixa group is interested in this subject because it may the key to allow us to integrate all the capabilities of our spelling checker for Basque in free software applications. Besides, we expect Foma to increase the performance of our morphology tools.
