In spontaneous speech, emotion information is embedded at several levels: acoustic, linguistic, gestural (non-verbal), etc. For emotion recognition in speech, there is much attention to acoustic level and some attention at the linguistic level. In this study, we identify paralinguistic markers for emotion in the language. We study two Indian languages belonging to two distinct language families...

INTRODUCTION Ectopic thyroid tissue may appear in any location along the trajectory of the thyroglossal duct from the foramen cecum to the mediastinum. Rarely, there is incomplete descent of the gland where the final resting point may be high resulting in sublingual ectopic thyroid tissue. Ectopic thyroid tissue carries a low risk of malignancy. Most recently reported neoplasms in ectopic thyro...

In this paper, we present a morphological based automatic tagging for Telugu without requiring any machine learning algorithm or training data. We believe that inflectional and agglutinating languages, the critical information required for tagging comes more from word internal structure than from the context and we show how a well designed morphological analyzer can assign correct tags and disa...

Speech is a natural mode of communication for people and speech recognition is an intensive area of research due to its versatile applications. This paper presents a comparative study of various feature extraction methods based on wavelets for recognizing isolated spoken words. Isolated words from Malayalam, one of the four major Dravidian languages of southern India are chosen for recognition....

A dialogue based Question Answering (QA) system for Railway information in Telugu has been described. Telugu is an important language in India belonging to the Dravidian family. The main component of our QA system is the Dialogue Manager (DM), to handle the dialogues between user and system. It is necessary in generating dialogue for clarifying partially understood questions, resolving Anaphora...

Telugu is a Dravidian language spoken by more than 80 million people worldwide. The optical character recognition (OCR) of the Telugu script has wide ranging applications including education, health-care, administration etc. The beautiful Telugu script however is very different from Germanic scripts like English and German. This makes the use of transfer learning of Germanic OCR solutions to Te...

Work on morphological analyzers (which are computer programmes) for Indian languages is conducted vigorously these days. Usually published in specialized journals, this rather technical work is briefly presented here to provide some insights to a wider readership into little-known aspects of current language work. The morphological strength of Malayalam as a major South Indian language justifie...

Case is often treated as an uninteresting part of computational processing (both parsing and generation). In the mainly free word order South Asian languages, case plays a theoretically well established role in syntactic and semantic processing. Case is used not only to help identify grammatical relations (e.g., ergatives indicate subjects), but also contributes significantly to the semantic an...

We present Brahmi-Net an online system for transliteration and script conversion for all major Indian language pairs (306 pairs). The system covers 13 Indo-Aryan languages, 4 Dravidian languages and English. For training the transliteration systems, we mined parallel transliteration corpora from parallel translation corpora using an unsupervised method and trained statistical transliteration sy...
