# SEALS 33

## **Overview**

These are the translated sections of the [2024 SEALS conference](https://sites.google.com/view/seals33/national-languages?authuser=0) (SEALS 33), graciously provided by the authors.

The 2024 South East Asian Linguistic Society meeting took place in Taipei. The main page of the website were available in Seediq and Saisiyat, as well as Mandarin and English.

## **Corpus Processing**

1. **Process Raw Data to XML**: Run `process_raw.py` to process the raw data in the `raw_data` directory and structure it into XML format.

   ```bash
   python main.py
   ```

Currently, this only works for Eastern Paiwan.

**Output** The processed XML files will be saved in `Final_XML/Paiwan`.

2. **Add dialect information** Use `add_dialect.py` to add dialect information for the speakers.

```bash
python add_dialect.py --path Final_XML/Paiwan/speaker-name --dialect dialect
```

**Output**

* The XML roots will now have a `dialect` attribute. Since there are no glottocodes for Paiwan dialects, no glottocode attribute is created.

3. **Clean XML and standardize punctuation**

This isn't necessary because everything was already standardized. It is listed just to make it clear that we didn't forget to do it.

```bash
python path/to/FormosanBankRepo/QC/cleaning/clean_xml.py --corpora_path Final_XML
```

**Outputs**

* This will update the XML files.

**Notes**

* This removes empty XML elements
* It also standardizes orthography (more-or-less), though a lot of this was done in previous steps (not documented above)
* Unicode is flattened so that diacritics are merged with the characters they modify
* HTML escape codes are replaced with the corresponding characters

4. **Standardize orthography**

   ```bash
   python path/to/FormosanBankRepo/QC/utilities/standardize.py --corpora_path path/to/FormosanWikipedias/Final_XML --copy
   ```

**Outputs**

* Updates XML files

**Notes**

* Creates a copy of everyelement with kindOf="standard" attribute
* Makes no changes, since the transcription is already the 113 Orthography.

5. **Add IPA**

   ```bash
   python ../FormosanBank/QC/utilities/add_phonology.py --corpora_path Final_XML --orthography Ortho113
   ```

**Outputs**

* Updates XML files

**Notes**

* Adds elements corresponding to each , containing IPA.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ai4commsci.gitbook.io/formosanbank/the-bank-architecture/corpora/seals33.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
