<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<div style>I am a 3rd year B.Tech. student from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information And Communication Technology(DA-IICT), Gandhinagar. I am interested in topic "Speech based query and result retrieval for Indian languages". I have prior experience in dealing with Indian languages as I am currently developing 'Named Entity Tagger' for Gujarati using Conditional Random Fields. The paper for the same that I wrote can be found <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5xypg0s9MhZdGN2SHlacV9zRWc/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>. The system is still in its primary stage and there is a lot of scope for improvement. I am currently in the process of adding POS tags as features. </div>
<div style>I prefer to code in python but I also know and have coded in C, C++, Java. </div><div style>I have knowledge about POS tags and basic understandings of word sense disambiguation. </div><div style>I don't have much knowledge about speech-to-text and text-to-speech aspects but I am sure that I will be able to understand them without any difficulty. </div>
<div style>Since I have taken Information Retrieval course this semester, I have fairly good knowledge and understanding about Information Retrieval systems. I have worked with Terrier and Lemur/Ind. </div><div style>It would be a great help if you could guide me further like what are the next steps that I need to take regarding this project and from where can I get more information abou this project.</div>
<div style>It would be convenient for me if further details that are essential could be provided like corpus availability and description, current work, and other crucial details.</div><div style>Thanking You,</div><div style>
