Clean up:
We were getting duplicate parses for feminine animate nouns such as cat and dog, due to the fact that in Russian the accusative inflection only changes between feminine animate and feminine inanimate nouns. Since we had the same lexical rules for the inanimate and animate nouns from previous labs, we were getting over generation in the accusative case. We fixed this by creating separate lexical rules for inanimate vs. animate feminine nouns.

I also created a separate lex item for verb eat and seprate lexical rules for inflection in present tense and nfinitive form. This is due to the fact that it is an irreguar verb in russian and has specific inflection for first person singular and third person plural.

English to Russian Translations:

Sentence: Dogs sleep.
Translates: Yes
Comments
Generates 2 outputs - free word order.

Sentence Dogs chase cars.
Translates Yes
Comments 
Generates 6 outputs - free word order.

Sentence I chase you.
Translates Yes
Comments 
Generates 12 outputs. Extra outputs are due free word order and due to the fact that we are getting the plural accusative version of you (vas) as well as the singular accusative (tebja). This is because in english you is underspecified for NUM.

Sentence These dogs sleep.
Translates No
Comments 
Error: invalid predicates proximal+dem_a_rel. I tried to fix by creating the demonstrative-bleaching transfer rule posted on GOPost, but that did not work

Sentence Dogs eat.
Translates Yes
Comments 
Generates 4 outputs - free word order

Sentence I can eat glass.
Translates Yes
Comments 
Generates 72 outputs. Here we are getting the future tense of eat with the budetj (be) auxiliary. Seems like budetj is picking up itself and can (mogu) auxiliaries. Don't know why.


Sentence It doesnt hurt me.
Translates Yes
Comments 
Generates 27 outputs. In addition to free word order, we are also getting all of our nominative 3rd person pronouns for "it" (ono, ona, on) since it in english is underspecified for gender.

Sentence The dogs chase cars.
Translates Yes
Comments Same as Dogs chase cars, no determiners in russian.

Sentence I think that you know that dogs chase cars.
Translates No
Comments Unknown error

Sentence I ask whether you know that dogs chase cars.
Translates No
Comments Unknown error

Sentence Cats and dogs chase cars.
Translates No
Comments 
Edge limit exhausted (tried with 20000, anything after that the virtual environment I am in crashes) cats and dogs can translate with 172 results and I am getting all combinations of case for the two nouns as well as all combinations of present tense inflection for chase. I suspect the coordination rules are broken. I tried to limit to just one strategy and to restrict the N-T and NP-T to have the same case on both coords, as well as giving the resulting mother NUM pl, but this did not make any difference.

Sentence Dogs chase cars and cats chase dogs.
Translates No
Comments Edge limit exhausted.

Sentence Cats chase dogs and sleep.
Translates No
Comments Edge limit exhausted.

Sentence Do cats chase dogs?
Translates Yes
Comments 12 outputs, other than word order, the problem is two inflections .

Sentence Hungry dogs eat.
Translates No
Comments Edge limit exhausted. The reason, this is overgenerating so much is that we never implemented NUM, CASE and GEND agreement between Adjectives and Nouns. Tried to do that for this lab, but got lost in the formatting and ran out of time.

Sentence Dogs eat quickly.
Translates Yes
Comments 
24 outputs - free word order plus multiple trees for each order, VP - ADJ trees, as well as NP - VP trees.

Sentence The dogs are hungry.
Translates No
Comments Edge limit exhausted. When comparing the MRSs the russian MRS does not have its ARG0 pointing to the mother's event relation. This is caused by the attributive to predicative lexical rule not properly identifying these two values. Did not have time to fix this.

Sentence The dogs are in the park.
Translates No
Comments Unknown error
 
Sentence: The dogs are the cats.
Translates: No 
Comments
Invalid predicates _be_v_id_rel. We never got the NP predicates to work and I suspect this is causing this sentence not to translate.

Sentence: The dogs-FP chase the cats.
Translates: Yes
Comments
12 outputs, but getting translation for dogs without the FP.
 
Sentence: The dogs chase-FP the cats.
Translates: Yes
Comments 
12 outputs, but getting translation for dogs without the FP.

Sentence: The dogs chase the cats-FP.
Translates: Yes
Comments
12 outputs, but getting translation for dogs without the FP. The above three are obviously caused by problems in the fp lexical rules, but I did not have time to troubleshoot those.

Italian to Russian Translations:

I found the Italia grammar to underspecify NUM among other thins for nouns and that caused the translations to overgenerate.
