Adapting International Standard for Asian Language Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Corpus-based approaches and statistical approaches have been the main stream of natural language processing research for the past two decades. Language resources play a key role in such approaches, but there is an insufficient amount of language resources in many Asian languages. In this situation, standardisation of language resources would be of great help in developing resources in new languages. This paper presents the latest development efforts of our project which aims at creating a common standard for Asian language resources that is compatible with an international standard. In particular, the paper focuses on i) lexical specification and data categories relevant for building multilingual lexical resources for Asian languages; ii) a core upper-layer ontology needed for ensuring multilingual interoperability and iii) the evaluation platform used to test the entire architectural framework.

While a growing number of studies deal with the modeling of accents by non-native speakers – with a strong bias towards English – relatively little is understood about postcolonial language varieties and the effects of substratal transfer (i.e. interference from local tongues) on the resulting sound systems. As the next information technology frontier [1], Africa presents unique challenges for ...
