  • Cross-Language Framework for Word Recognition and Spotting of Indic Scripts
    Cross-language Framework for Word Recognition and Spotting of Indic Scripts aAyan Kumar Bhunia, bPartha Pratim Roy*, aAkash Mohta, cUmapada Pal aDept. of ECE, Institute of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, India bDept. of CSE, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee India cCVPR Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India bemail: [email protected], TEL: +91-1332-284816 Abstract Handwritten word recognition and spotting of low-resource scripts are difficult as sufficient training data is not available and it is often expensive for collecting data of such scripts. This paper presents a novel cross language platform for handwritten word recognition and spotting for such low-resource scripts where training is performed with a sufficiently large dataset of an available script (considered as source script) and testing is done on other scripts (considered as target script). Training with one source script and testing with another script to have a reasonable result is not easy in handwriting domain due to the complex nature of handwriting variability among scripts. Also it is difficult in mapping between source and target characters when they appear in cursive word images. The proposed Indic cross language framework exploits a large resource of dataset for training and uses it for recognizing and spotting text of other target scripts where sufficient amount of training data is not available. Since, Indic scripts are mostly written in 3 zones, namely, upper, middle and lower, we employ zone-wise character (or component) mapping for efficient learning purpose. The performance of our cross- language framework depends on the extent of similarity between the source and target scripts.

  • Kharosthi Manuscripts: a Window on Gandharan Buddhism*
    KHAROSTHI MANUSCRIPTS: A WINDOW ON GANDHARAN BUDDHISM* Andrew GLASS INTRODUCTION In the present article I offer a sketch of Gandharan Buddhism in the centuries around the turn of the common era by looking at various kinds of evidence which speak to us across the centuries. In doing so I hope to shed a little light on an important stage in the transmission of Buddhism as it spread from India, through Gandhara and Central Asia to China, Korea, and ultimately Japan. In particular, I will focus on the several collections of Kharo~thi manuscripts most of which are quite new to scholarship, the vast majority of these having been discovered only in the past ten years. I will also take a detailed look at the contents of one of these manuscripts in order to illustrate connections with other text collections in Pali and Chinese. Gandharan Buddhism is itself a large topic, which cannot be adequately described within the scope of the present article. I will therefore confine my observations to the period in which the Kharo~thi script was used as a literary medium, that is, from the time of Asoka in the middle of the third century B.C. until about the third century A.D., which I refer to as the Kharo~thi Period. In addition to looking at the new manuscript materials, other forms of evidence such as inscriptions, art and architecture will be touched upon, as they provide many complementary insights into the Buddhist culture of Gandhara. The travel accounts of the Chinese pilgrims * This article is based on a paper presented at Nagoya University on April 22nd 2004.

  • Indic​ ​Loanwords​ ​In​ ​Tocharian​ ​B,​ ​Local​ ​Markedness,​ ​​ ​And​ ​The​ ​Animacy
    Indic Loanwords in Tocharian B, Local Markedness, and the Animacy Hierarchy ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Francesco Burroni and Michael Weiss (Department of Linguistics, Cornell University) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ A question that is rarely addressed in the literature devoted to Language Contact is: how are nominal forms borrowed when the donor and the recipient language both possess rich inflectional morphology? Can nominal forms be borrowed from and in different cases? What are the decisive factors shaping the borrowing scenario? In this paper, we frame this question from the angle of a case study involving two ancient Indo-European languages: Tocharian and Indic (Sanskrit, Prakrit(s)). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Most studies dedicated to the topic of loanwords in Tocharian B (henceforth TB) have focused on borrowings from Iranian (e.g. Tremblay 2005), but little attention has been so far devoted to forms borrowed from Indic, perhaps because they are considered uninteresting. We argue that such forms, however, are of interest for the study of Language Contact. A remarkable feature of Indic borrowings into TB is that a-stems are borrowed in TB as e-stems when denoting animate referents, but as consonant ​ ​ ​ ​ (C-)stems when denoting inanimate referents, a distribution that was noticed long ago by Mironov (1928, following Staёl-Holstein 1910:117 on Uyghur). In the literature, however, one finds no reaction to Mironov’s idea. By means of a systematic study of all the a-stems borrowed from Indic into TB, we argue ​ ​ that the trait [+/- animate] of the referent is, in fact, a very good predictor of the TB shape of the borrowing, e.g. male personal names from Skt.

  • Inflectional Morphology Analyzer for Sanskrit
    Inflectional Morphology Analyzer for Sanskrit Girish Nath Jha, Muktanand Agrawal, Subash, Sudhir K. Mishra, Diwakar Mani, Diwakar Mishra, Manji Bhadra, Surjit K. Singh [email protected] Special Centre for Sanskrit Studies Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi-110067 The paper describes a Sanskrit morphological analyzer that identifies and analyzes inflected noun- forms and verb-forms in any given sandhi-free text. The system which has been developed as java servlet RDBMS can be tested at http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in (Language Processing Tools > Sanskrit Tinanta Analyzer/Subanta Analyzer) with Sanskrit data as unicode text. Subsequently, the separate systems of subanta and ti anta will be combined into a single system of sentence analysis with karaka interpretation. Currently, the system checks and labels each word as three basic POS categories - subanta, ti anta, and avyaya. Thereafter, each subanta is sent for subanta processing based on an example database and a rule database. The verbs are examined based on a database of verb roots and forms as well by reverse morphology based on Pāini an techniques. Future enhancements include plugging in the amarakosha ( http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in/amara ) and other noun lexicons with the subanta system. The ti anta will be enhanced by the k danta analysis module being developed separately. 1. Introduction The authors in the present paper are describing the subanta and ti anta analysis systems for Sanskrit which are currently running at http://sanskrit.jnu.ac.in . Sanskrit is a heavily inflected language, and depends on nominal and verbal inflections for communication of meaning. A fully inflected unit is called pada .

  • Sanskrit Translation Now Made, Be Crowned with Success ! PUBLISHER's NOTE
    “KOHAM?” (Who am I ?) Sri Ramanasramam Tiruvannamalai - 606 603. 2008 Koham ? (Who am I ?) Published by V. S. Ramanan, President, Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai - 606 603. Phone : 04175-237200 email : [email protected] Website : www.sriramanamaharshi.org © Sri Ramanasramam Tiruvannamalai. Salutations to Sri Ramana Who resides in the Heart Lotus PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION Many were the devotees who were attracted to the presence of Bhagavan Sri Ramana while he was living in the Virupaksha Cave, situated in the holy region of Arunachala, the Heart Centre of the world, which confers liberation on those who (merely) think of It. They were drawn to him on account of his wonderful state of tapas - absorption in the silence of yoga samadhi, which is difficult of achievement. One among these devotees was Sivaprakasam Pillai who approached Maharshi in 1901-02 with devotion, faith and humility and prayed that he may be blessed with instructions on Reality. The questions raised over a period of time by Sivaprakasam Pillai were answered by the silent Maharshi in writing - in Tamil. The compilation (of the instruction) in the form of questions and answers has already been translated into Malayalam and many other languages. May this Sanskrit translation now made, be crowned with success ! PUBLISHER'S NOTE The Sanskrit translation of Sri Bhagavan's Who am I ? entitled Koham? by Jagadiswara Sastry was published earlier in 1945. We are happy to bring out a second edition. The special feature of this edition is that the text is in Sri Bhagavan's handwriting. A transliteration of the text into English has also been provided.

  • An Introduction to Indic Scripts
    An Introduction to Indic Scripts Richard Ishida W3C [email protected] HTML version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.html PDF version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.pdf Introduction This paper provides an introduction to the major Indic scripts used on the Indian mainland. Those addressed in this paper include specifically Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu. I have used XHTML encoded in UTF-8 for the base version of this paper. Most of the XHTML file can be viewed if you are running Windows XP with all associated Indic font and rendering support, and the Arial Unicode MS font. For examples that require complex rendering in scripts not yet supported by this configuration, such as Bengali, Oriya, and Malayalam, I have used non- Unicode fonts supplied with Gamma's Unitype. To view all fonts as intended without the above you can view the PDF file whose URL is given above. Although the Indic scripts are often described as similar, there is a large amount of variation at the detailed implementation level. To provide a detailed account of how each Indic script implements particular features on a letter by letter basis would require too much time and space for the task at hand. Nevertheless, despite the detail variations, the basic mechanisms are to a large extent the same, and at the general level there is a great deal of similarity between these scripts. It is certainly possible to structure a discussion of the relevant features along the same lines for each of the scripts in the set.
