Improving the Quality of Gujarati-Hindi Machine Translation through Part-of-Speech Tagging and Stemmer Assisted Transliteration

Abstract

Machine Translation for Indian languages is an emerging research area.\nTransliteration is one such module that we design while designing a translation\nsystem. Transliteration means mapping of source language text into the target\nlanguage. Simple mapping decreases the efficiency of overall translation\nsystem. We propose the use of stemming and part-of-speech tagging for\ntransliteration. The effectiveness of translation can be improved if we use\npart-of-speech tagging and stemming assisted transliteration.We have shown that\nmuch of the content in Gujarati gets transliterated while being processed for\ntranslation to Hindi language.\n
