Konkanverter - A Finite State Transducer based Statistical Machine Transliteration Engine for Konkani Language
V. T. Rajan · 2014
We have developed a finite state transducer based transliteration engine called Konkanverter that performs statistical machine transliteration between three different scripts used to write the Konkani language. The statistical machine transliteration system consists of cascading finite state transducers combining both rule-based and statistical approaches. Based on the limited availability of parallel corpora, this cascading approach is found to perform significantly better than a pure rule-based approach or pure statistical approach.
