Decomposability and Frequency in the Hindi/Urdu Number System
نویسنده
چکیده
Hindi/Urdu (HU) numbers 10–99 are highly irregular, unlike the transparent systems of most languages. I investigate the morphological decomposability of HU numbers using a series of computational models. While these models classify most forms accurately, problems are encountered in high-frequency forms of low cardinality, suggesting that some HU numbers are more transparent (i.e., morphologically decomposable) than others. These results are compatible with a dual-route access model proposed for the processing of numeral forms.

Improving Machine Translation via Triangulation and Transliteration
In this paper we improve Urdu→Hindi English machine translation through triangulation and transliteration. First we built an Urdu→Hindi SMT system by inducing triangulated and transliterated phrase-tables from Urdu–English and Hindi–English phrase translation models. We then use it to translate the Urdu part of the Urdu-English parallel data into Hindi, thus creating an artificial Hindi-English...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Complete Urdu-Hindi Transliteration System
Hindi and Urdu are variants of the same language, but while Hindi is written in the Devnagri script from left to right, Urdu is written in a script derived from a Persian modification of Arabic script written from right to left. The difference in the two scripts has created a script wedge as majority of Urdu speaking people in Pakistan cannot read Devnagri, and similarly the majority of Hindi s...
متن کاملDeveloping English-Urdu Machine Translation Via Hindi
The paper presents a strategy for deriving English to Urdu translation using English to Hindi MT system. The English-Hindi lexical database is used to collect all possible Hindi words and phrases. These are further augmented by including their morphological variations and attaching all possible postpositions. This list is used to provide mapping from Hindi to Urdu. There may be change in gender...
متن کاملA 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...

In this paper, we present a system for transliterating the Arabic-based script of Urdu to a Roman transliteration scheme. The system is integrated into a larger system consisting of a morphology module, implemented via finite state technologies, and a computational LFG grammar of Urdu that was developed with the grammar development platform XLE (Crouch et al. 2008). Our long-term goal is to han...
