Wildlife of China: Wikidata, structured Wiktionary, MediaWiki Content Translation and planning for a WUaS Universal Translator in all 8k languages, "[Wikidata] Grammatical display of units", How can the WUaS_Universal_Translator … planned for 8k Languages with machine translation become industry standard in 204 countries & nuanced for POETRY translation with AI?

[Wikidata] Grammatical display of units

The discussion about how to do this is happening in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86528 The basic problem is that we
do use items for the units. I think this is the right thing to do but
it does make this particular part a bit tricky.


Cheers
Lydia

How best to anticipate and plan here for ever more accurate translation between Wikipedia / Wikidata languages with full STEM precision? What's the road map? How might this "Unit Localization" Phabricator RFC https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86528 fit into a series of Phabricator RFCs in a longer term plan for great Wikidata translation? Can we further begin to lay out this "road map" at this stage for all of Wikipedia's 358 languages (and anticipate even all 7,943 language entries in Glottolog)? 
Would it be possible to dovetail this with developing Wiktionary with Content Translation as Phabricator RFCs? 
(WUaS which donated CC WUaS to CC Wikidata last autumn would like to help develop such translation and for CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC, for example, in addition to MediaWiki Content Translation).

Lydia and Wikidatansl, 

If "the basic problem is that we do use items for the units," after developing a workaround for this, could Wikidata make an item out of the parts and sounds of every word (in Wiktionary) in every (Wikipedia) language, to begin, as part of a further translator plan?

Hi!

Good point. Could we not just have a monolingual text string property
that gives the preferred writing of the unit when used after a number? I
don't think the plural/singular issue is very problematic, since you
would have plural almost everywhere, even for "1.0 metres". So maybe we

We have code to deal with that - note that "1 reference" and "2
references" are displayed properly. It's a matter of applying that code
and having it provided with proper configs.
You mean the MediaWiki message processing code? This would probably be powerful enough for units as well, but it works based on message strings that look a bit like MW template calls. Someone has to enter such strings for all units (and languages). This would be doable but the added power comes at the price of more difficult editing of such message strings instead of plain labels.

As far as I know, the message parsing is available through the MW API, so external consumers could take advantage of the same system if the message strings were part of the data (we would like to have grammatical units in SQID as well).


just need one alternative label for most languages? Or are there
languages with more complex grammar rules for units?

Oh yes :) Russian is one, but I'm sure there are others.
Forgive my ignorance; I was not able to read the example you gave there.

Stas, Thomas, John, Markus, Lydia and Wikidatans, 

What happens when one develops structured Wiktionary (https://www.wiktionary.org/), as linked open data for every part of every word and their sounds, perhaps as Qitems in Wikidata, in Wikipedia's 358 languages, and planning for all 7,943 language entries in Glottolog, and combines this with MediaWiki Content Translation (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation) - all re Wikidata/Wikibase? Qe this grammatical display of units thread, how to plan for the genders of words in some languages only? And is this/could this be partly a structured Wiktionary question, when one spells out the numerals/units in letters and words?

Melliferous flower: Opportunity to plan in "teaching democracy" - coding-wise too - in all countries' main languages ... as major universities (Harvards/Stanfords of each country) which will offer online free CC bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees, as well as I.B. high school diplomas, Bitcoin and Blockchain and WUaS Law School's graduate students, How could we begin to "cognitive assistant-ize" (per JIm Spohrer) your very well thought out DQ framework gradually?, Parts of MIT OCW courses might become machine learning AI cognitive assistants under both of our CC licensing, MIT OCW CC licensing allows for "sharing" and "adapting," It's the "cognitive assistant" machine learning aspects of Courses and CC MIT OCW then machine translated into any of all 7k languages that will be richly generative


Dear Larry, 

Thanks for your fascinating Stanford talk on Monday - https://events.stanford.edu/events/614/61463/!

At this stage in CC World University and School's development (which is like CC Wikipedia in 358 languages with CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC, and developing in CC Wikidata/Wikibase), there's an opportunity to plan in "teaching democracy" - coding-wise too - in all countries' main languages ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States (WUaS is moving soon to Wikidata from Wikia) ... as major universities (Harvards/Stanfords of each country) which will offer online free CC bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees, as well as I.B. high school diplomas, and perhaps beyond specific courses. In what ways would you suggest adding approaches to "teaching and learning democracy" to either the degree processes, or on WUaS wiki side for open teaching and learning -http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects - to actually grow democracy, especially in countries that have room to grow?

Looking forward to staying in touch, and thank you.  

Sincerely, 
Scott


*
Larry, as I mentioned in my question after your Stanford talk on Monday, WUaS is also planning to help develop Bitcoin and Blockchain in all countries' main languages, and re our planned law schools (eventually hiring "nationals" from all countries to be faculty, after hiring matriculated graduate students).

*
Carl, 

Thank you for your ISSIP talk this morning on "Decision Quality" thinking! How could we begin to "cognitive assistant-ize" (per JIm Spohrer) your very well thought out DQ framework gradually? (and per http://worlduniversityandschool.org which is planning to become a Harvard in every countries' main language, accrediting on MIT OpenCourseWare, which is in 7 languages).

Thank you, 
Best regards, Scott

Hi Scott,

We could build on two MOOCs for the curriculum. One has been offered by SDG on the NovoEd platform (Introduction to Decision Quality) one has been offered by the non-profit DEF (decision Education Foundation) that focuses the framework on personal and life decisions.

Let me know, if you would like to have a conversation for possibilities.

Best, Carl

 *
Hi Carl,

Sounds interesting and thanks for your email reply. Yes, let's talk. WUaS is MIT OCW-centric focused, and hasn't begun to explore coding-wise, by way of comparison, how any parts of MIT OCW courses might become machine learning AI cognitive assistants under both of our CC licensing - MIT OCW CC licensing allows for "sharing" and "adapting") but this could be fascinating to explore. It's the "cognitive assistant" machine learning aspects of Courses and CC MIT OCW then machine translated into any of all 7k languages that will be richly generative.

When's a good time to talk?

Best, Scott

Rainbow Family: "ED's Proposed Rules for Online Learning Present New Compliance Challenges," Just posted in these regards yesterday something on WUaS's Twitter feed, WUaS heard back directly from Wikidata's Lydia Pintscher about WUaS developing in Wikidata a few weeks ago, WUaS is planning for a) student applications in all countries' main and official languages, b) matriculating students and their transcripts for free CC Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. degrees, and I.B. high school diplomas, (again in all countries' main and official languages), and c) accreditation probably with WASC senior, and incubated by the University of California., Not for profit, 501 (c) (3) WUaS's model is still a kind of MIT or Stanford model (with their great STEM ethoses) yet online


Dear Bill and All, 

Thanks so much for this information from Cooley, Bill - https://www.cooley.com/eds-proposed-rules-for-online-learning-new-compliance-challenges. I just posted in these regards yesterday something on WUaS's Twitter feed re John Mayer's similar update - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/757600232939003904.
*
* 
This is particularly helpful and timely information since these US Education Department developments will inform how World University and School begins to develop our "You at WUaS" database - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University - in CC Wikidata (Wikipedia's 3.5 year old database developing in 358 languages). WUaS heard back directly from Wikidata's Lydia Pintscher about developing this a few weeks ago. WUaS is planning for a) student applications in all countries' main and official languages, b) matriculating students and their transcripts for free CC Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. degrees, and I.B. high school diplomas, (again in all countries' main and official languages), and c) accreditation probably with WASC senior, and incubated by the University of California. 

Not for profit, 501 (c) (3) WUaS's model is still a kind of MIT or Stanford model (with their great STEM ethoses), where students would matriculate at CC WUaS (accrediting on CC MIT OCW - http://ocw.mit.edu/ - in 7 languages - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - and CC Yale OYC - http://oyc.yale.edu - in Google group video Hangouts with graduate student instructors teaching to the MIT and Yale faculty in video, for planning purposes) from all 50 states and from all 204 countries too (albeit online and not in Cambridge or Palo Alto) and where the individual states' requirements (per the US Education Department) are not really relevant to MIT or Stanford. 

WUaS would still nevertheless have to seek to comply with U.S. states' requirements since we are online. 

Thank you,
Scott

Elephants and water: My blog continues to be creative & generative (and may help get me the MIT faculty position), Margaret Hamilton whose code writing - early rudimentary computer programming as the head of the Apollo software project {what a trip!} - helped put men on the moon in 1969


Hi M,

My blog continues to be creative & generative (and may help get me the MIT faculty position). I think I'll post about Margaret Hamilton who got a math and philosophy degree at Earlham in the 50s (she was born in 1936) and whose code writing - early rudimentary computer programming as the head of the Apollo software project {what a trip!} - helped put men on the moon in 1969 ...

Cygnus: Excited about developing my big project - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - partly by teaching it, at the MIT Media Lab, as well as developing further my Harbin research, Poetry translation and AI, machine learning and machine translation for this?, * My poetry translated as something to work with in a Universal Translator with a focus on poetry ~ http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/poetry?


Hi M,

I'm excited too about developing my big project - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - partly by teaching it, at the MIT Media Lab (as I wait to hear back), as well as developing further my Harbin research, another very big project. Having recently come in contact with Bruno Labour, a French Anthropologist and Professor at SciencesPo heading their MediaLab and London School of Economics' Professor too (both greatest unis for Anthropology in France and England) and re translation, I see further potential and interesting Anthropological and I.T. / media explorations ahead. In one very little example, beyond his many seminal books, his @LatourBot - https://twitter.com/LatourBot - takes sentences, for example, from his books and writings and translates them often humorously into English in ways that don't always parse syntactically but also give new meaning. Curious how to develop his Latour Bot as an example with a universal translator (and for poetry too!) developing with AI and re - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/07/snowshoe-hare-digital-coders-of-all-8k.html. Latour is a one-of-a-kind-French theorist and thinker in science and technology studies and is a great colleague to converse with.
