Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models are typically trained on datasets with limited exposure to Scientific, Technical and Educational domains. Translation models thus, in general, struggle with tasks that involve scientific understanding…
This work introduces Itihasa, a large-scale translation dataset containing 93,000 pairs of Sanskrit shlokas and their English translations. The shlokas are extracted from two Indian epics viz., The Ramayana and The Mahabharata. We first…
We release S\={a}mayik, a dataset of around 53,000 parallel English-Sanskrit sentences, written in contemporary prose. Sanskrit is a classical language still in sustenance and has a rich documented heritage. However, due to the limited…
We release Samas\=amayik, a novel, meticulously curated, large-scale Hindi-Sanskrit corpus, comprising 92,196 parallel sentences. Unlike most data available in Sanskrit, which focuses on classical era text and poetry, this corpus aggregates…
Ancient Buddhist literature features frequent, yet often unannotated, textual parallels spread across diverse languages: Sanskrit, P\=ali, Buddhist Chinese, Tibetan, and more. The scale of this material makes manual examination prohibitive.…
The study presents a comprehensive benchmark for retrieving Sanskrit documents using English queries, focusing on the chapters of the Srimadbhagavatam. It employs a tripartite approach: Direct Retrieval (DR), Translation-based Retrieval…
Sanskrit is a classical language with about 30 million extant manuscripts fit for digitisation, available in written, printed or scannedimage forms. However, it is still considered to be a low-resource language when it comes to available…
The data article presents the large bilingual parallel corpus of low-resourced language pair Sanskrit-Hindi, named SAHAAYAK 2023. The corpus contains total of 1.5M sentence pairs between Sanskrit and Hindi. To make the universal usability…
We present a neural Sanskrit Natural Language Processing (NLP) toolkit named SanskritShala (a school of Sanskrit) to facilitate computational linguistic analyses for several tasks such as word segmentation, morphological tagging, dependency…
Sanskrit poetry has played a significant role in shaping the literary and cultural landscape of the Indian subcontinent for centuries. However, not much attention has been devoted to uncovering the hidden beauty of Sanskrit poetry in…
Metaphors in natural language are a reflection of fundamental cognitive processes such as analogical reasoning and categorisation, and are deeply rooted in everyday communication. Metaphor understanding is therefore an essential task for…
The conversion of content from one language to another utilizing a computer system is known as Machine Translation (MT). Various techniques have come up to ensure effective translations that retain the contextual and lexical interpretation…
Parallel datasets are vital for performing and evaluating any kind of multilingual task. However, in the cases where one of the considered language pairs is a low-resource language, the existing top-down parallel data such as corpora are…
Paraphrases are a vital tool to assist language understanding tasks such as question answering, style transfer, semantic parsing, and data augmentation tasks. Indic languages are complex in natural language processing (NLP) due to their…
Data-driven approaches for dependency parsing have been of great interest in Natural Language Processing for the past couple of decades. However, Sanskrit still lacks a robust purely data-driven dependency parser, probably with an exception…
The primary focus of this thesis is to make Sanskrit manuscripts more accessible to the end-users through natural language technologies. The morphological richness, compounding, free word orderliness, and low-resource nature of Sanskrit…
This study demonstrates how hybrid neural-symbolic methods can yield significant new insights into the evolution of a morphologically rich, low-resource language. We challenge the naive assumption that linguistic change is simplification by…
We present BhashaSetu, a linguistically enriched English--Marathi parallel dataset addressing persistent data limitations in low-resource neural machine translation (NMT). Marathi, spoken by over 95 million people, remains underrepresented…
Sanskrit, one of humanity's most ancient languages, has a vast collection of books and manuscripts on diverse topics that have been accumulated over millennia. However, its digital content (audio and text), which is vital for the training…
Achieving universal translation between all human language pairs is the holy-grail of machine translation (MT) research. While recent progress in massively multilingual MT is one step closer to reaching this goal, it is becoming evident…
