ItemConstituency parsing of complex noun sequences in hindi( 2014-01-01) Batra, Arpita ; Paul, Soma ; Kulkarni, AmbaA complex noun sequence is one in which a head noun is recursively modified by one or more bare nouns and/or genitives Constituency analysis of complex noun sequence is a prerequisite for finding dependency relation (semantic relation) between components of the sequence. Identification of dependency relation is useful for various applications such as question answering, information extraction, textual entailment, paraphrasing. In Hindi, syntactic agreement rules can handle to a large extent the parsing of recursive genitives (Sharma, 2012)[12].This paper implements frequency based corpus driven approaches for parsing recursive genitive structures that syntactic rules cannot handle as well as recursive compound nouns and combination of gentive and compound noun sequences. Using syntactic rules and dependency global algorithm, an accuracy of 92.85% is obtained. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

ItemSemantic processing of compounds in indian languages( 2012-12-01) Kulkarni, Amba ; Paul, Soma ; Kulkarni, Malhar ; Kumar, Anil ; Surtani, NiteshCompounds occur very frequently in Indian Languages. There are no strict orthographic conventions for compounds in modern Indian Languages. In this paper, Sanskrit compounding system is examined thoroughly and the insight gained from the Sanskrit grammar is applied for the analysis of compounds in Hindi and Marathi. It is interesting to note that compounding in Hindi deviates from that in Sanskrit in two aspects. The data analysed for Hindi does not contain any instance of Bahuvrihi (exo-centric) compound. Second, Hindi data presents many cases where quite a lot of compounds require a verb as well as vibhakti(a case marker) for its paraphrasing. Compounds requiring a verb for paraphrasing are termed as madhyama-pada-lopi in Sanskrit, and they are found to be rare in Sanskrit. © 2012 The COLING.
