Dear friends, Kindly find attached the announcement of launch of a Sanskrit verb form generator (vidyut-prakriya) from Mr. Arun Prasad, which may be of interest to some of you.
QUOTE नमो विद्वद्भ्यः -- *vidyut-prakriya* generates Sanskrit words by applying Paninian rules step-by-step. Our long-term goal is for the program to generate all valid Paninian words. *Summary* vidyut-prakriya is heavily indebted to the SanskritVerb <https://groups.google.com/g/bvparishat/c/sm-lW9qj0A8> generator from Dr. Dhaval Patel, I.A.S and Dr. Shivakumari Katuri, and we are grateful to the authors for their encouragement in this project. If you are familiar with SanskritVerb, vidyut-prakriya offers the following improvements: - It adds many more forms (जुगुप्सते etc, अतत etc, -आम्बभूव etc.) - It fixes various small bugs. - Its prakriyas generally have more detail, especially for it-Agama rules. - It can run in a web browser without an internet connection. - It is much faster. On my laptop, vidyut-prakriya can generate all kartari-tinantas in about 4 seconds. This speed is especially useful for testing and for natural language processing tools. - It has partial support for sanAdi forms. These have not been tested very much, so please use with caution. *Code: *https://github.com/ambuda-org/vidyut/tree/main/vidyut-prakriya *Demo*: https://ambuda-org.github.io/vidyullekha/-- click on a dhatu to see its tinanta padas, and click on a pada to see its prakriya. *Notes*: We are sharing our system publicly so that we can collect feedback and better discover bugs. Please share it widely so that we can collect more feedback. - For bug reports, please use https://github.com/ambuda-org/vidyut/issues . - We are eager to partner with scholars and experts to better test our system. If you are interested in working with us more closely, please contact us at https://ambuda.org/contact. - We have partial support for subantas and krdantas, but these are not available in the demo yet. - Testing was done by comparing our program to the output of SanskritVerb. Most differences have been accounted for and are (we believe) in vidyut-prakriya's favor, but a few small errors likely remain. Regards, Arun Prasad UNQUOTE -- Dr. Dhaval Patel www.sanskritworld.in
