Stemming is an operation that splits a word into the constituent root part and affix without doing complete morphological analysis. It is used to improve the performance of spelling checkers and information retrieval ...

Segmentation is the most challenging part of Bangla optical character recognition (OCR). To solve the problems of joining errors, several algorithms have been proposed in the literature, with varying degrees of accuracy. ...

There are different approaches to the problem of assigning each word of a text with a parts-of-speech tag, which is known as Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging. In this paper we compare the performance of a few POS tagging ...

We describe some of the challenges in developing English-Bangla parallel corpora, and look some of the established processes used by other language corpora for solutions to some of these challenges.

We present a phonetic encoding for Bangla that can be used by spelling checkers to provide better suggestions for misspelled words. The encoding is based on the Soundex algorithm, modified to match Bangla phonetics. We ...

This paper addresses the issues of Integrating Bangla Computing support for OpenOffice.org office suite and in the process, Identifies and describes the different problems associated with OpenOffice.org and that should ...

This report describes the initial translations of gTLDs and ccTLDs in Bengali, along with the challenges faced in creating the translations.

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 ...

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 ...

In this paper we have described an OCR program made for Bangla documents. This program uses HMM for the recognition process. The description of full OCR program is too large to present here. So, we have given emphasis on ...
