Over 13 months, Kala Olsen engineered advanced grammar and parsing enhancements for the giellalt/lang-kal repository, focusing on Greenlandic and Kalaallisut language processing. Kala expanded and refined CG3 grammar rules, dependency parsing, and disambiguation logic to improve sentence structure analysis and linguistic coverage. Using C++, CG3, and Lex, Kala developed new mapping rules, handled complex temporal and numerical expressions, and addressed edge cases such as hyphenated acronyms. The work emphasized modular code organization, maintainability, and clear documentation, resulting in more accurate and robust natural language processing pipelines that support downstream tasks like translation, information extraction, and linguistic analytics.
