be useful to those talking up projects within the following
one or two years.
Organization :
NCST, Mumbai
Objective of the Project :
The projects aim
at creating operational system for Human-aided machine
translation of English stories to Hindi. It will build
upon the prototype system " Matra" developed under a earlier
TDIL project for translation of English news stories to
Hindi. The MAT system will take English news stories from
a wire service agency such as PTI & UNI, will be simplified
and translated, using human intervention as appropriate
and the edited by a human, and then made available either
as a Hindi news summary service, or as web page on the
internet.
Organization :
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur
Objective of the Project :
The Specific objectives
of the project are listed below :
IIT Kanpur has developed ANGLABHARTI technology
for Machine Aided Translation from English to Indian Languages
and an English to Hindi translation system named AnglaHindi
has been developed out of the TDIL funded project based
on Anglabharti technology. In this project it is proposed
to further refine and augment AnglaHindi and integrate
the system with OCR and Speech output. The system will
be augmented with a dictionary hierarchy in which the
user may work in the general domain or any specific domain
for which the information exists in the dictionary hierarchy.
It will have an user-friendly interface (for further expanding
the dictionary and domain) and (optional) post-editing
facility. The system will be able to handle parenthesized
items, quoted items, dates, currencies, special characters
and varying formats within the text.
Organization :
Electronic Research & Development Centre of
India, NOIDA
Objective of the Project :
The Specific objectives
of the project are listed below :
Developnet of Content Creation Center and use
the existing server for providing the information to the
citizen of India. The said server will work along with
a communication/application server in tandem. The data
server will be on a Linux platform with X-Windows for
control purpose. The communication server will work on
NT platform and will accept queries from internet.
Communication server as a broadcast message will answer
the first query. It will also handle generic mail. The
second type of query will have to be handled by CGI pearl
protocol of communication, which will have to be developed
and is always application specific. The third type of
query is meant for data server to communicate to the user
through COM server, using advance CGI Pearl/Java Script.
To develop a protocol with CGI & Pearl for
handling queries falling on the server.
