Dear Sir,

I am in final stage of my PhD at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. I
am working in Example based Machine Translation. I am looking for
postdoctoral position in Natural Language Processing.

In my research, I have worked on the following aspects of EBMT.

1.Resource development: I have manually created an annotated (parsing and
root word information) English-Hindi parallel data of about 4,000
sentences. For word and sentential alignment, I have further created
parallel database of 10,000 sentences.

2.Stuided word and sentential alignment , provided the improvements in
word alignment algorithm (DK-Vec and Somers algorithm)

3. Studied different similarity measurement techniques, and provided a new
approach of measuring similarity on the basis of Cost of adaptation.

4. Divergence
- New Categories of divergence have been identified for English to Hindi
Translation
-Identification of Divergence in corpora (rule based)
-Handling of divergence in input sentence for EBMT (using Word Net 2.0.,
WSD)

5. Handling of complex and compound sentences in EBMT.

I would appreciate if anyone can consider/suggest me about further
research opportunities.

Waiting for your positive response.

Thanking you.


With regards,
