Thank your Hector, for the valuable feedbacks on the draft application, I
will work on the coding challenge before application period and I can
dedicate more than 30 hours per week to the project.
I agree with you regarding the number of words because 50,000 words I think
will be really difficult in case of Torwali. But, I have access to lexical
data of Torwali with more than 10,000 words and around 1000 example
sentences with some other running text. I also have text files listing
different categories of words.
I will update my proposal and add the necessary things with a couple of
weeks for disambiguation.
Regards,
Naeem
