Why am I interested in Machine Translation?

Machine Translation is an important technology for localization, and is particularly relevant in a linguistically diverse country like India. Machine Translation can help reduce the language barrier. That motivated me to study Computational Linguistics in IIIT-H. I am currently working in the Machine Translation Department of IIIT-H.

Why am I interested in the Apertium Project?

I have been fascinated by FOSS and open source software since the time I heard about it. As mentioned above, Machine Translation interests me a lot. Apertium combines both of these factors. Plus, I really like Begiak.

Which of the published tasks am I interested in? What do I plan to do?

I am interested in the project ===Improved Billingual Induction===.

Biography

I am currently pursuing Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and MS by Research in Computational Linguistics at IIIT-H. I have just finished my second year in that. I have been studying the various fields of Computational Linguistics for the past two years and I can not wait to study more. I am proficient in Python, C/C++, Bash, SQL and HTML5. I have developed an Urdu-Hindi transliterator using NLP tools. It gave an accuracy of 75%.

Non-Summer-of-Code plans for the summer

I might have to go for a social entrepreneurship trip for 3 days in July. Otherwise, I have nothing else planned for the summer. This project will be my main priority.
