I am a first year PhD student of Computer Science at Center for Next Generation Localisation (CNGL), School of Computing , Dublin City University. I work on Statistical Machine Translation in Machine Translation Group under the supervision of Prof. Andy Way. I work closely with Prof. Josef van Genabith, Prof. Antal van den Bosch and Dr. Sudip Kumar Naskar.


 

Research Interests:

Machine Translation, Machine Transliteration, Named Entity Recognition, Part-of-Speech Tagging and Machine Learning.


 

Activities:

  • I have presented our paper entitled "English-Hindi Transliteration Using Context-Informed PB-SMT:the DCU System for NEWS 2009" on 7th August 2009 at Named Entities Workshop (NEWS) co-located with ACL-IJCNLP 2009 in Singapore. Transliteration-Slide.

  • I have presented our paper entitled "Using Supertags as Source Language Context in SMT" on 15th May 2009 at EAMT 2009 in Bercelona. Supertag-Slide.
