Research Work:

            The aim of my work is to develop a suite of tools for processing of Indian Languages. So far, Stemmer, Morphological analyzer and a Part of Speech Tagger for Indian Languages has been developed. All the above tools have language independent engines and depend on deep language specific analysis. I have also worked on developing a stochastic model for Part of Speech tagging based on the principles of Hidden Markov Models. This model tries to use Linguistic features for the purpose of Part of Speech tagging.

 

In the coming year I intend to tackle the problem of chunking and later touch upon parsing of Indian Languages.

 

Expected time to finish: Six Months (6 months)
