Research Component on Technology Concluding Thoughts Sarmad Hussain Center for Research in Urdu Language Processing National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan

Technology Output Most countries are making very good progress Afghanistan completed deliverables Bangladesh –issues with OCR, translation accuracy for parallel corpus Bhutan –TTS work delayed, but now progressing with support of NECTEC –OCR work on hold, but hope will re-start Cambodia –Work progressing well on TTS, OCR and language applications –Work on translation of parallel corpus on hold China –Limited status reported; work delayed for non-technical reasons

Technology Output Indonesia –Good progress on POS, Corpus translation and tool development Laos –Work on TTS and OCR progressing with the support of NECTEC –Work on language processing slow progress –Work on plug-in proceeding with support from RS Mongolia –Good progress on localization, language processing and speech recognition projects Nepal –Good progress on grammar development, reasonable progress on OCR

Technology Output Pakistan –Good progress on localization of SeaMonkey, OO and other tools Sri Lanka –Progress on mobile h/w recognition system –Reasonable progress on e-learning system –Slow progress on TM tool development

Overall Picture Excellent progress in technology development –Except in few cases Great collaborations turning work into successful research and development –Within partners –Across other organizations Developing a rich repository of resources for Asian languages, which will be very helpful even beyond the project

Issues HR availability, development and retention Linguistic Training Simultaneous English and local language competence Need for further synthesis of work Need for formal training at universities

Future Collate and develop a linguistic resource repository Write experiences across partners for various works –IDN –Lexica Resources, POS and Tagging –Text Processing, Computational Phonology and Speech Processing –Technology Policy Continue the collaborative work Online parallel (?) terminology repository Figure out linguistic resource distribution mechanism for longer term Experiment with commercialization for sustainability Phase 3?
