" 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.
