suggesting-word-aligner-rcl

This is a fork of word-aligner-rcl. word-aligner-rcl is a react component which allows a translator to connect source and target words in a translation and thus map out an alignment.

This fork adds the addition of connecting an AI suggester for creating word alignments.

The demonstration app for this is Alignment Transferer which has a Netlify demo..

Usage Difference from WordAligner

The main react component instead of being called WordAligner, it is called SuggestingWordAligner. It has two additional properties in addition to those of WordAligner.

• suggester: This is function call by which this component calls the model to make alignment suggestions. The TypeScript type signature for this function is

  suggester: ((sourceSentence: string | Token[], targetSentence: string | Token[], maxSuggestions?: number, manuallyAligned?: Alignment[] ) => Suggestion[])|null

  The JavaScript type signature for this function is

  /**
  * @callback SuggesterCB Takes The source and target translation as well as manual alignments and returns a list of suggestions
  * @param {string|array[Token]} source - source translation 
  * @param {string|array[Token]} target - target translation
  * @param {number} maxSuggestions - max number of suggestions
  * @param {array[Alignment]} manualAlignments - array manual alignments
  * @return {array[Suggestion]} list of suggestions
  */

  If the suggester is not available, pass in null. The type signature for this function matches the signature of the AbstractWordMapWrapper predict method in the wordmapbooster project.

  Here is the description of the arguments.

  • sourceSentence: The aligner component will pass in an array of Tokens representing the source text such as Greek or Hebrew in the case of scripture.

  • targetSentence: This will be an array of Tokens for the target text of whatever language is being aligned.

  • maxSuggestions: This is the number of Suggestions which should be returned.

  • manuallyAligned: This parameter contains existing Alignment objects, so that the suggester can respect existing and partial alignments when making suggestions.

  • return: The suggester function should return an array of Suggestion objects which contain the suggested alignments made by the suggester.

• asyncSuggester: This callback is supposed to take the same arguments as suggester but return the answer wrapped in a promise. Either use this or the other but not both. The JavaScript type signature for this function is

  /**
  * @callback AsyncSuggesterCB Takes The source and target translation as well as manual alignments and returns a list of suggestions
  * @param {string|array[Token]} source - source translation 
  * @param {string|array[Token]} target - target translation
  * @param {number} maxSuggestions - max number of suggestions
  * @param {array[Alignment]} manualAlignments - array manual alignments
  * @return {Promise<array[Suggestion]>} list of suggestions
  */

• hasRenderedSuggestions: This is a boolean property to SuggestingWordAligner which indicates if there are any active suggestions going on. If this property is false, then alignment related buttons become disabled.

Usage Similar to WordAligner

The following properties are left unchanged and are the same as WordAligner:

• contextId: Current verse context. This is an object which identifies which book is being aligned.

  /**
  * @typedef ContextID
  * @param {object} details
  * @property {string} book
  * @property {string} chapter
  * @property {string} verse
  */

• lexiconCache: Cache for lexicon data
• loadLexiconEntry: Callback to load lexicon for language and strong number

  /**
  * @callback LoadLexiconEntryCB
  * @param {string} lexiconId
  * @param {string} entryId
  */

• onChange: Optional callback for whenever alignment changed. Contains the specific operation performed as well as the latest state of the verse alignments and target words usage.

  /**
  * @callback OnChangeCB
  * @param {object} details - a change details object with the following fields:
  * @param {string} details.type is type of alignment change (MERGE_ALIGNMENT_CARDS,
  *      CREATE_NEW_ALIGNMENT_CARD, UNALIGN_TARGET_WORD, ALIGN_TARGET_WORD, or ALIGN_SOURCE_WORD)
  * @param {string} details.source - source(s) of the word being changed (TARGET_WORD_BANK or GRID)
  * @param {string} details.destination - destination of the word being changed  (TARGET_WORD_BANK or GRID)
  * @param {array[AlignmentType]} details.verseAlignments - array of the latest verse alignments
  * @param {array[TargetWordBankType]} details.targetWords - array of the latest target words
  * @param {ContextID} details.contextId - context of current verse
  */

• showPopover: Callback function to display a popover

  /**
  * @callback ShowPopOverCB
  * @param {object} PopoverTitle - JSX to show on title of popover
  * @param {object} wordDetails - JSX to show on body of popover
  * @param {object} positionCoord - where to position to popover
  * @param {object} rawData - where to position to popover
  * @param {SourceWordType} rawData.token - where to position to popover
  * @param {LexiconType} rawData.lexiconData - current lexicon data cache
  */

• sourceLanguage: ID of source language.
• sourceLanguageFont: Font to use for source.
• sourceFontSizePercent: Percentage size for font.
• targetLanguage: Details about the language.

  /**
  * @callback TranslateCB
  * @param {string} key - key for locale string lookup
  */

• verseAlignments: Initial verse alignment. An array of AlignmentType.

  * @param {array[SourceWordType]} sourceNgram - list of the source words for an alignment
  * @param {array[TargetWordType]} targetNgram - list of the target words for an alignment
  */
  
  /**
