Grapheme-Based | | Abstract: | Transliterating of proper names is the process of converting a word from source natural language (such as Somali) to a target natural language (such as English) while preserving pronunciation. Proper names and technical words are challenging in bilingual translation systems and also in Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) applications, due to their absence in the dictionary.
In this Thesis, we study transliteration problem of Somali to English; Somali-English transliteration is an under-studied problem. Our Somali-English transliteration system uses transliteration rules based on the orthographic mapping of the source language characters to the characters of the target language. We also propose Somali transliteration table that maps the Somali characters that don't have corresponding characters in English. Our language specific approach combines the direct mapping, Somali transliteration table along with the dependency rules which enhances and improves the transliteration accuracy. | | Curricular : | BALA/BSCS/GE/MSIT/MTEIL | | Record link: | http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=26775 |
