Radek Moszczyński's website

I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Formal Linguistics, University of Warsaw. I graduated from the Institute of English Studies at University of Warsaw. I like Beowulf and Samuel Beckett's works just as much as sitting in front of a Linux console.

Projects

Computer messages

Together with Janusz S. Bień and Joanna Bilińska we're trying to prepare a set of tools for parsing English and Polish computer messages. The ultimate aim of the project is to create a parallel treebank. As a side effect, we hope to develop some insights into the linguistic properties of IT-related materials.

Multiword expressions in dictionaries

In this project I work with Piotr Bański, my former teacher. We're working on a legacy representation of multiword expressions in a large English-Polish dictionary. We want to develop a more modern and richer representation, based on RelaxNG.

Poliqarpix

Poliqarpix is a live Linux distribution based on Slax. Its main purpose is to provide people with a means to try out Poliqarp and maybe build their own language corpus without the need to install anything on their precious hard disks.

The CD image of Poliqarpix can be downloaded here. In order to use it, you have to burn the .iso file to a CD with your favorite CD burning software, insert the CD to your drive and reboot your computer. Poliqarpix should start instead of your usual operating system. If it does not, mail me.

Documentation is still a work in progress, but Poliqarpix is quite talkative, so it should give you all the right directions to start it up successfully. After it starts, it will display some basic instructions concerning Poliqarp and building your own corpus.

A note to people using virtualization software: Poliqarpix was tested with VMWare Server and it works perfectly. A user reports that it also works with QEMU.

Koha — an open source library system

I have prepared a document which describes the process of installing Koha on Slackware. Comments are very welcome.

Translation and localization

Apart from research work, I am employed full-time as a project manager at L10nbridge. Previously I was an editor at BTInfo, where I've put together some simple Python scripts that you might find useful if you're working with IBM's Translation Manager.

My GnuPG public key can be downloaded here.
