1 Practical Training Cell, IIT Bombay Practical Training Cell, IIT Bombay 1 Director’s Message Prof. Devang Khakkar Director IIT Bombay IIT Bombay has proved to be the most pre- ferred destination for aspiring technologists from across the country. The institute con- sistently attracts the finest faculty and the best of students for its Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral Programs. IIT Bombay has a rich tradition of pursuing excellence and has con- tinually re-invented itself in terms of academic programs and research infrastructure. The presence of world class research facili- ties, institute industry collaborations, inter- national exchange programs, interdisciplinary research collaborations and industrial train- ing opportunities help the students of IIT Bombay to excel and be ahead in the com- petitive professional environment. We highly value our partnership with recruiters, alumni and friends of IIT Bombay and remain com- mitted to making your recruiting experience productive and positive. I invite recruiting or- ganizations and graduation students to find best match between their need and capabili- ties. Wish you all the best. 2 Practical Training Cell, IIT Bombay Dean’s Message Prof. Shiva Prasad Dean Academic Program IIT Bombay IIT Bombay offers perhaps the most flexible engineering curricula in the country to its students. The diverse skill of the student pop- ulation and the extensive theoretical knowl- edge they have will definately make them as assest to any organisation. At IIT Bombay, we believe that Practical Training or Internship is an integral portion of a student’s overall de- velopment and we encourage students to take up projects in industry and academia so that they can be better prepared for their future careers. The Training Cell facilitates this by providing a convenient interface for the companies to interact with students they will be hiring at a later stage, something that can only be mutu- ally beneficial for both the student body and for industry. I wish the students, companies and universities participating in this process the very best of luck.

  • Word Sense Disambiguation Using Indowordnet
    Word Sense Disambiguation Using IndoWordNet Sudha Bhingardive Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay, Powai, Mumbai, India. Email: [email protected] Pushpak Bhattacharyya Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay, Powai, Mumbai, India. Email: [email protected] Abstract Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is considered as one of the toughest problem in the field of Natural Language Processing. IndoWordNet is a linked structure of WordNets of major Indian languages. Recently, several IndoWordNet based WSD approaches have been proposed and implemented for Indian languages. In this chapter, we present the usage of various other features of IndoWordNet in performing WSD. Here, we have used features like linked WordNets, semantic and lexical relations, etc. We have followed two unsupervised approaches, viz., (1) use of IndoWordNet in bilingual WSD for finding the sense distribution with the help of Expectation Maximization algorithm, (2) use of IndoWordNet in WSD for finding the most frequent sense using word and sense embeddings. Both these approaches justifies the importance of IndoWordNet for word sense disambiguation for Indian languages, as the results are found to be promising and can beat the baselines. Keywords: IndoWordNet, WordNet, Word Sense Disambiguation, WSD, Bilingual WSD, Unsupervised WSD, Most Frequent Sense, MFS 1. Introduction 1.1. What is Word Sense Disambiguation? Word Sense Disambiguation or WSD is the task of identifying the correct meaning of a word in a given context. The necessary condition for a word to be disambiguated is that it should have multiple senses. Generally, in order to disambiguate a given word, we should have a context in which the word has been used and knowledge about the word, otherwise it becomes difficult to get the exact meaning of a word.

    Department of Computer Science University of Houston DISTINGUISHED LECTURER SEMINAR 2012 WHEN: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2012 WHERE: PGH 232 TIME: 3:00 PM SPEAKER: Dr. Pushpak Bhattacharyya, IIT Bombay Host: Dr. Ioannis Kakadiaris TITLE: Word Sense Disambiguation- a Multilingual Resource Conscious Perspective Abstract: Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is a fundamental problem in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Amongst various approaches to WSD, it is the supervised machine learning (ML) based approach that is the dominant paradigm today. However, ML based techniques need significant amount of resource in terms of sense annotated corpora which takes time, energy and manpower to create. Not all languages have this resource, and many of the languages cannot afford it. We discuss ways of doing WSD under resource constraint. We describe a novel scoring function and an iterative algorithm based on this function to do WSD. This function separates the influence of the annotated corpus (corpus parameters) from the influence of wordnet (wordnet parameters), in deciding the sense. Next we describe how the corpus of one language can help WSD of another language, i.e., LANGUAGE ADAPTATION. This is presented in three setting of "complete", "some" and "no" annotation. The talk is presented in a multilingual setting of Indian languages. The presentation is based on work done with PhD and Masters students and researchers: Rajat, Mitesh, Salil, Saurabh, Anup, Sapan and Piyush, and published in fora like ACL, COLING, EMNLP, GWC, ICON and so on. BIO: Dr. Pushpak Bhattacharyya is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay. He received his B.Tech from IIT Kharagpur, M.Tech from IIT Kanpur and PhD from IIT Bombay.

  • Word Sense Disambiguation Algorithms in Hindi
    Word Sense Disambiguation Algorithms in Hindi Drishti Wali (13266) Nirbhay Modhe (13444) Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur April 18, 2015 Abstract Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the task of automatic identification of the sense of a polysemous word in a given context. Quite a lot of work has been done for WSD in English, inspired mainly by the Senseval and SemEval tasks. In this project we use the model of word representation stated in the paper by Chen, Liu and Sun3 for a Hindi corpus. This model represents the context and each sense of the target word as a vector in a high dimensional space and measures their similarity. The most similar sense is the chosen as the correct sense of the target word in the given context. 1 Contents 1 Motivation3 2 Resources and Corpus3 2.1 Hindi Wordnet..........................3 2.2 Hindi Corpus...........................3 3 Methodology3 3.1 Word2vec : Skip-Gram Model..................4 3.2 Sense and Context Representation...............4 3.3 Similarity using Cosine Distance................4 4 Results5 4.1 Threshold Analysis........................5 4.2 Example Cases..........................5 4.3 Insights..............................6 5 Future Work6 6 Conclusion6 2 1 Motivation Word sense disambiguation has lot of applications in improving search en- gines, machine translation, resolution of Anaphora etc. The first work in Hindi word sense disambiguation was done by Pushpak Bhattacharyya in 2004.8 Following this paper other works using bilingual methods and graph based approaches have been researched.

Machine translation is the best application which helps to understand any other language in less cost and less time. In this some problems are faced by researchers: words which pronounce same but having different meaning, some words spelled different but having same meaning, in some cases combination of words may change the meaning. To resolve such kind of problems Word Sense Disambiguation is needed. Word Sense Disambiguation is used to understand the correct meaning of the word with respect to context in which that is used; Word Sense Disambiguation is the part of natural language processing. Word Net plays an important role in Word Sense Disambiguation. In this paper, we will discuss about the basic concept of Natural language processing, Machine Translation and Word sense disambiguation. Keywords - Natural Language Processing, Machine Translation, Word Net, Word Sense Disambiguation. I.
