Konkanverter - A Finite State Transducer based Statistical Machine Transliteration Engine for Konkani Language
نویسنده
چکیده
We have developed a finite state transducer based transliteration engine called Konkanverter that performs statistical machine transliteration between three different scripts used to write the Konkani language. The statistical machine transliteration system consists of cascading finite state transducers combining both rule-based and statistical approaches. Based on the limited availability of parallel corpora, this cascading approach is found to perform significantly better than a pure rule-based approach or pure statistical approach.

A Hybrid Model for Urdu Hindi Transliteration
We report in this paper a novel hybrid approach for Urdu to Hindi transliteration that combines finite-state machine (FSM) based techniques with statistical word language model based approach. The output from the FSM is filtered with the word language model to produce the correct Hindi output. The main problem handled is the case of omission of diacritical marks from the input Urdu text. Our sy...
متن کاملNovel Probabilistic Finite-State Transducers for Cognate and Transliteration Modeling
We present and empirically compare a range of novel probabilistic finite-state transducer (PFST) models targeted at two major natural language string transduction tasks, transliteration selection and cognate translation selection. Evaluation is performed on 10 distinct language pair data sets, and in each case novel models consistently and substantially outperform a well-established standard re...
متن کاملSubstring-Based Transliteration
Transliteration is the task of converting a word from one alphabetic script to another. We present a novel, substring-based approach to transliteration, inspired by phrasebased models of machine translation. We investigate two implementations of substringbased transliteration: a dynamic programming algorithm, and a finite-state transducer. We show that our substring-based transducer not only ou...
متن کاملEnglish to Indonesian Transliteration to Support English Pronunciation Practice
The work presented in this paper explores the use of Indonesian transliteration to support English pronunciation practice. It is mainly aimed for Indonesian speakers who have no or minimum English language skills. The approach implemented combines a rule-based and a statistical method. The rules of English-Phone-to-Indonesian-Grapheme mapping are implemented with a Finite State Transducer (FST)...
متن کاملEvaluating the Impact of Using a Domain-specific Bilingual Lexicon on the Performance of a Hybrid Machine Translation Approach
This paper describes an Example-Based Machine Translation prototype and presents an evaluation of the impact of using a domainspecific vocabulary on its performance. This prototype is based on a hybrid approach which needs only monolingual texts in the target language and consists to combine translation candidates returned by a cross-language search engine with translation hypotheses provided b...
