ItemSanskrit compound processor( 2010-12-01) Kumar, Anil ; Mittal, Vipul ; Kulkarni, AmbaSanskrit is very rich in compound formation. Typically a compound does not code the relation between its components explicitly. To understand the meaning of a compound, it is necessary to identify its components, discover the relations between them and finally generate a paraphrase of the compound. In this paper, we discuss the automatic segmentation and type identification of a compound using simple statistics that results from the manually annotated data. © 2010 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.
