Hello Sir,
My name is Neerav Mathur. I am 4th semester post graduate student at
K.M.Institute of Hindi and Linguistics, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University
Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. I am studying Linguistics and during my
pervious semesters I have learnt Python, Machine Translation, XML. As part
of my previous semester course project, I trainer and tested MALT Parser
for Magahi Language. In order to do it, me and my classmate Mohit also
developed a small treebank for the language. In the current semester, we
are further expanding the treebank and we plan to implement the first
full-fledged parser for the language. I am also working on the development
of a machine translation system for English-Magahi language pair. As you
would notice, I am more generally interested in developing resources and
technologies for under-resourced Indian languages. As part of this, I am
interested in building a morphological analyzer for Braj Language (spoken
in Braj Region of Agra, Mathura, Alighar, Bharatpur, etc in Uttar Pradesh
and Rajasthan, India) using the Apertium platform.
I got information about GSOC and Apertium (rule-based platform for MT
and also morph analysers) during hands-on workshop on Machine Translation
by Atul Kumar Ojha, JNU. He suggested me Apertium for developing MT systems
for underresourced language and also suggested how Morphological Analyzers
help in increasing the performance of Machine translation in rule based
system, especially for morphologically rich languages. I want to work on
this project to make morphological analyzer for developing English - Braj
MT system.
I am planning to apply in Google Summer Code this year and work on this
Apertium project. Can you please suggest me if it will be a feasible plan
and if it is possible to complete this project in three months ?
Thank you !
