Outline of Final Research Achievements

I constructed a large-scale Filipino language corpus for the compilation of Filipino-Japanese Dictionary which is intended for Japanese learners. This construction and entering database for the said dictionary took a long duration, considering the future release of a regular application. And after selecting 300 frequently used root words and 1,800 derivatives from among the dictionary database, I, with the help of a graduate student majoring in engineering, experimentally produced the trial version of the application as originally planned, using a development supporting tool.
