About Arvi Hurskainen
- Arvi Johannes Hurskainen (born January 25, 1941 in Kitee) is a Finnish scholar of language technology and linguistics.
- Since 1985 he has developed rule-based language technology mainly for Swahili, but also for other languages, including machine translation from English to Finnish.
- He has created a development environment called SALAMA (acronym for Swahili Language Manager), but it suits to any language.
- The major applications developed so far include the following: the spell checker for Swahili, the annotator of corpus texts, an advanced dictionary between Swahili and English and translators from Swahili to English, from English to Swahili, and from English to Finnish.
- He has also developed an advanced learning system for Swahili and a system for producing targeted vocabularies for language learners.
- Hurskainen has compiled two annotated corpora, Helsinki Corpus of Swahili 1.0 and Helsinki Corpus of Swahili 2.0 [1].
