Recently, several techniques have been tested to automatically assign part-of-speeches to Bangla texts using different tag sets. But there is always a need for a standard tagset for Bangla that has been formally published ...

This paper describes a process of text normalization system of Bangla language (exonym: Bengali) by identifying the semiotic classes from Bangla text corpus. After identifying the semiotic classes a set of rules were ...

This report describes the design and implementation of a Bangla tagged lexicon. The resulting lexicon contains 144,770 entries, out of which 58,145 are verbs. The tags used in the lexicon are reproduced here from a previous ...

This report describes the design of a POS tagset for Bangla, based on the Penn Treebank design. The resulting tagset contains 53 morpho-syntactic tags.

Research on automatic speech recognition has been approach progressively since 1930 and the major advances are since 1980 with the introduction of the statistical modeling of speech with the key technology Hidden Markov ...

Skew angle detection and correction an integral part of any OCR system. Without proper skew correction, the performance of an OCR will simply not be acceptable for most scanned images. We propose an innovative method for ...

Research on recognizing Bengali script has been started since mid 1980’s. A variety of different techniques have been applied and the performance is examined. In this paper we present a high performance domain specific OCR ...
