India has a huge linguistic diversity and has seen concerted efforts from the Indian government and industry towards developing language resources. European Language Resource Association (ELRA) and its associate organizations have been very active and successful in addressing the challenges and opportunities related to language resource creation and evaluation. It is therefore a great opportunity for resource creators of Indian languages to showcase their work on this platform and also to interact and learn from those involved in similar initiatives all over the world. The broader objectives of the 4th WILDRE will be • to map the status of Indian Language Resources • to investigate challenges related to creating and sharing various levels of language resources • to promote a dialogue between language resource developers and users • to provide opportunity for researchers from India to collaborate with researchers from other parts of the world The call for papers received a good response from the Indian language technology community. Out of twenty nine full papers received for review, we selected one papers for oral, four for short oral, seven for poster and three for demo presentation. iv Workshop Programme 12th May 2018 09:00 – 09:45hrs: Inaugural session 09:00 – 09:05hrs – Welcome by Workshop Chairs 09:05 – 09:25hrs – Inaugural Address 09:25 – 09:45hrs – Keynote Lecture 09:45 – 10:30hrs – Panel discussion Coordinator: Zygmunt Vetulani Panellists – TBD 10:30 – 11:00hrs – Coffee break + Poster/Demo Chairperson: Kalika Bali • Royal Jain, Anger Detection in Social Media for Resource Scarce Languages • Aniketh Janardhan Reddy, Monica Adusumilli, Sai Kiranmai Gorla, Lalita Bhanu Murthy Neti and Aruna Malapati, Named Entity Recognition for Telugu using LSTM-CRF • K.

  • 1 Brahmi Word Recognition by Supervised Techniques
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 5 June 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202006.0048.v1 Brahmi word recognition by supervised techniques Neha Gautam 1*, Soo See Chai1, Sadia Afrin2, Jais Jose3 1 Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, University Malaysia Sarawak 2 Institute of Cognitive Science, Universität Osnabrück 3Amity University, Noida, India *[email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Significant progress has made in pattern recognition technology. However, one obstacle that has not yet overcome is the recognition of words in the Brahmi script, specifically the recognition of characters, compound characters, and word because of complex structure. For this kind of complex pattern recognition problem, it is always difficult to decide which feature extraction and classifier would be the best choice. Moreover, it is also true that different feature extraction and classifiers offer complementary information about the patterns to be classified. Therefore, combining feature extraction and classifiers, in an intelligent way, can be beneficial compared to using any single feature extraction. This study proposed the combination of HOG +zonal density with SVM to recognize the Brahmi words. Keeping these facts in mind, in this paper, information provided by structural and statistical based features are combined using SVM classifier for script recognition (word-level) purpose from the Brahmi words images. Brahmi word dataset contains 6,475 and 536 images of Brahmi words of 170 classes for the training and testing, respectively, and the database is made freely available. The word samples from the mentioned database are classified based on the confidence scores provided by support vector machine (SVM) classifier while HOG and zonal density use to extract the features of Brahmi words.

  • Language Transliteration in Indian Languages – a Lexicon Parsing Approach
    LANGUAGE TRANSLITERATION IN INDIAN LANGUAGES – A LEXICON PARSING APPROACH SUBMITTED BY JISHA T.E. Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, Mary Matha Arts And Science College, Vemom P O, Mananthavady A Minor Research Project Report Submitted to University Grants Commission SWRO, Bangalore 1 ABSTRACT Language, ability to speak, write and communicate is one of the most fundamental aspects of human behaviour. As the study of human-languages developed the concept of communicating with non-human devices was investigated. This is the origin of natural language processing (NLP). Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics. It studies the problems of automated generation and understanding of natural human languages. A 'Natural Language' (NL) is any of the languages naturally used by humans. It is not an artificial or man- made language such as a programming language. 'Natural language processing' (NLP) is a convenient description for all attempts to use computers to process natural language. The goal of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) group is to design and build software that will analyze, understand, and generate languages that humans use naturally, so that eventually you will be able to address your computer as though you were addressing another person. The last 50 years of research in the field of Natural Language Processing is that, various kinds of knowledge about the language can be extracted through the help of constructing the formal models or theories. The tools of work in NLP are grammar formalisms, algorithms and data structures, formalism for representing world knowledge, reasoning mechanisms. Many of these have been taken from and inherit results from Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Logic, and Philosophy.
