Use of Part Of Speech (POS) and morphological information for resolving Multiple Pronunciations in Pronunciation Lexicon Specification (PLS) for Indian Languages – Bengali as a Case Study

چکیده
Pronunciation dictionary is one of the important components for the speech technology development for a particular language. This is because it represents the interface between speech analysis on the acoustic level and speech interpretation. The W3C Voice Browser Activity has published a Pronunciation Lexicon Specification (PLS) Version 1.0 [1] for generation of PLS in different languages. This paper proposes some modification of the published PLS specification with respect to Indian languages with Bengali as a typical case study.

متن کاملWeb-Based Bengali News Corpus for Lexicon Development and POS Tagging
Lexicon development and Part of Speech (POS) tagging are very important for almost all Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. The rapid development of these resources and tools using machine learning techniques for less computerized languages requires appropriately tagged corpus. We have used a Bengali news corpus, developed from the web archive of a widely read Bengali newspaper. The ...

This paper describes our work on Part-ofspeech tagging (POS) and chunking for Indian Languages, for the SPSAL shared task contest. We use a Maximum Entropy (ME) based statistical model. The tagger makes use of morphological and contextual information of words. Since only a small labeled training set is provided (approximately 21,000 words for all three languages), a ME based approach does not y...

Part of Speech (POS) tagging is the task of labeling each word in a sentence with its appropriate syntactic category called part of speech. POS tagging is a very important preprocessing task for language processing activities. In this paper, we report about our work on POS tagging for Bengali by combining different POS tagging systems using three weighted voting techniques. The individual POS t...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Based Bengali Part of Speech Tagging
Part of Speech (POS) tagging can be described as a task of doing automatic annotation of syntactic categories for each word in a text document. This paper presents a POS tagger for Bengali using the statistical Maximum Entropy (ME) model. The system makes use of the different contextual information of the words along with the variety of features that are helpful in predicting the various POS cl...
