Interest in Machine Translation : The whole idea of translating a text from one natural language to another exites me. I have been working on this field for about a year. MT can bring wonders , specially for Indian Languages because we still do not have enough data available in languages like Hindi, Urdu, Marathi, Bengali, etc. as compared to English and other foreign languages. I am specially interested in MT systems where the source language is English and the target languages are Indian Languages.

Interest in Apertium Project : I have an interest in Natural Language Processing and I cant get a better option than Apertium to work in this area. Machine Translation is a challenging task , as is evident from the History of MT and I am excited to take the current state of art to a step ahead. Open Source always excites me and I think this is the best opportunity one can get.
