      In this paper, a proposal has been given to make an equitable access of education and technology among the people of the underdeveloped and developing countries of the world. Here a concept called localization has been ...
    • Minimally segmenting performance Bangla optical character recognition using Kohonen network 

      Shatil, Adnan Mohammad Shoeb; Khan, Mumit (BRAC University, 2006)
      This paper presents a method to use Kohonen neural network based classifier in Bangla Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system, providing much higher performance than the traditional neural network based ones. It describes ...
    • Morphological analysis of inflecting compound words in Bangla 

      Dasgupta, Sajib; Khan, Naira; Sarkar, Asif Iqbal; Pavel, Dewan Shahriar Hossain; Khan, Mumit (BRAC University, 2005)
      The addition of inflectional suffixes in Bangla com-pound words is fairly complex. A compound is a word that is formed by two or more different words acting as a single entity. One of the key distinguishing features of ...
    • Morphological parsing of Bangla wods using PC-KIMMO 

      Dasgupta, Sajib; Khan,Mumit (BRAC University, 2004)
      This paper describes Morphological parsing of Bangla words using PC-KIMMO, based on Kimmo Koskeniemil's model of two-level Morphology. There are three sections in the PC-KIMMO: rules section lexicon section and grammar ...
    • N-gram based statistical grammar checker for Bangla and English 

      Alam, Md. Jahangir; UzZaman, Naushad; Khan, Mumit (Center for research on Bangla language processing (CRBLP), BRAC University, 2006)
      This paper describes a statistical grammar checker, which considers the n-gram based analysis of words and POS tags to decide whether the sentence is grammatically correct or not. We employed this technique for both Bangla ...
    • A proposed automated extraction procedure of Bangla text for corpus creation in unicode 

      Pavel, Dewan Shahriar Hossain; Sarkar, Asif Iqbal; Khan, Mumit (BRAC University, 2006)

    • Rule based automated pronunciation generator 

      Mosaddeque, Ayesha Binte; UzZaman, Naushad; Khan, Mumit (BRAC University, 2006)
      This paper presents a rule based ronunciation generator for Bangla words. It takes a word and finds the pronunciations for the graphemes of the word. A grapheme is a unit in writing that cannot be analyzed into smaller ...
    • Rule based segmentation of lower modifiers in complex Bangla scripts 

      Hasnat, Md. Abul; Khan, Mumit (BRAC University, 2009)
