Major Projects

Question Generation

- Guide : Dr. Rajeev Sangal, Prashanth Mannen - Task : To generate questions with various answer spans (one word to whole

paragraph) from a given English text (domain independent )

Statistical Machine Translation - Guide : Dr. Sriram Venkatapathy - Task : To make a language independent Machine Translation System using a

discriminative approach, currently experimenting with different tools like SVM, Max-Ent

Parse Ranking - Guide : Dr. Rajeev Sangal, Samar Husain, Sudheer Kolachina - Task: Selecting the best parse out of many different parses given by parser like

CBHP (constraint based hybrid parser)

An Iterative approach to improve state of art of POS tagging, Chunking, NER tagging - Guide : Dr. Rajeev Sangal, Bharat Ram Ambati, Phani Gadde - Task: for solving problem of data sparseness for POS tagging and Chunking I

have used a iterative approach , using chunking information again in POS tagging

and so on for hindi language with 3 different tools, CRF, TnT , MaxEnt. Same

procedure I have used for NER – Chunking

Developing a search engine for the entire Wikipedia Dump and extracting and Populating missing information boxes

- Guide : Dr. Vasudeva Verma - Task: To create a web search engine for the entire Wikipedia dump. It involved

indexing around 24 GB of data and building a keyword based search engine.

Minor projects

Comparison between Malt and MST parsers

Projects in Database Management Systems
