Hi, This is for attention for the groups particularly interested to work on speech technology for Indian languages & development of corpus. Let me introduce to the group Prof. Niladri Sekhar Dash of ISI Kolkatta, who is working on development of corpus (both written and spoken) generation in Indian languages, language processing, lexical resource generation and lexicography. As this was one of the identified gap at the workshop and we had only Kokila (& Ravikant) there to represent linguists. I had been in touch with Prof. Dash in post workshop communication and he offer to be part of the group and take up some responsibility in his domain areas, besides bringing in other colleagues from ISI to join in to contribute to Indic-Computing. I have suggested Prof. Dash to take intiative in this area and help to develop this group. I would suggest members interested in corpus building to get in touch with Prof. dash. I am including the mails exchnaged with him as under. best vijay Cc: Prof. Dash may I request you to kindly join Indic-Computing mailing lists, you can go to http://indic-computing.sourceforge.net/ to subscribe Niladri Sekhar Dash wrote: >Dear Vijay Pratap Singh Aditya, > >Nice to hear you.

Dr. Dash et al, Yes, that is great, welcome to the mailing list! btw I think Vijay meant Kavita Bali who attended the conference. She is working with Picopeta Simputers and is researching indic language speech corpuses (corpii?).

1. Just for the record, gentlemen, its neither Kokila nor Kavita but KALIKA BALI from Picopeta. 2. Vijay mentions the conference minutes > please can somebody send us a copy too. 3. I may be going to Delhi in 10 days, so if you feel its important, I can pass on the minutes to the Jt Secy (Languages) at Min of Educ. Also, two other Jt Secys in the same Ministry, both of whom, as I said earlier, are very nice people and if called upon to help, will surely do so. Venky, could you make any progress in thearticle/letter? A brief one page in addition to the conference minutes would do.... 4. Great that Dr. Dash has joined. Isn't it amazing how much wonderful work is happening all over the country!

Could we discuss with them the possibility of their support for putting on courses in and university that would allow artists, linguists and computer scientists to work together on projects to build excellent hi-quality indic fonts? I think that would be a great multi-disciplinary educational activity, not to mention having such fonts with us would really allow us to develop some other good educational materials in LL... Sounds like a good idea to me. -- Tapan PS. Sorry Kalika!!!! |

Dear Tapan S. Parikh, Thanks for your mail. Sorry I have late in reply. To my knowledge speech corpus in Indian languages are very rare. Only a few gropus have developed this. However, they are not properly designed follwing the designing principles applied in LOB or Swedish speech corpus. Some information regarding Indian speech corpus can be found in the News Letter of MIT, Govt. of India at : http://tdil.mit.gov.in With best wishes and regards, Sincerely, Niladri ======= %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % DR.

Please, its KALIKA not any of the other varients used. I don't know if Dr. Dash remembers but I did mail him a month and a half ago asking him if he was aware of any speech corpus in Indian languages that I could use and he had told me the same thing. I did go to the TDIl site but they only mentioned some machine-readable (I presumed- text) corpora being maintained by CIIL, Mysore. Nothing at all on speech corpora. Dr. Dash do you know what the IBM speech recogniser is using to train their models ? thanks, Kalika On Wed, 9 Oct 2002, Niladri Sekhar Dash wrote: > > Dear Tapan S. Parikh, > > Thanks for your mail.

Prof. Yegnanaryana of IIT Madras has Doordarshan News data for 8 different Indian Languages. There are between 20-33 bulletins in each language. Tamil, Hindi and Telugu have been labelled using C*V. Prof. Yegnanarayana's e-mail id is: ye...@ii.... Students and faculty at IITM do have free access to this database. He is planning to make it available to others too. My suggestion is that you can write/ talk to him about these databases. We have been using this database for getting rules for prosody for TTS and Continuous Speech Recognition. -hema On Wed, 9 Oct 2002, Kalika Bali wrote: > > Please, > its KALIKA not any of the other varients used. > > I don't know if Dr. Dash remembers but I did mail him a month and a half > ago asking him if he was aware of any speech corpus in Indian languages > that I could use and he had told me the same thing. > > I did go to the TDIl site but they only mentioned some machine-readable (I > presumed- text) corpora being maintained by CIIL, Mysore.
