This thesis has been divided into six chapters namely: Introduction, Karaka Model and it impacts on Dependency Parsing, LT Resources for Bhojpuri, English-Bhojpuri SMT System: Experiment, Evaluation of EB-SMT System, and Conclusion. Chapter one introduces this PhD research by detailing the motivation of the study, the methodology used for the study and the literature review of the existing MT related work in Indian Languages. Chapter two talks of the theoretical background of Karaka and Karaka model. Along with this, it talks about previous related work. It also discusses the impacts of the Karaka model in NLP and dependency parsing. It compares Karaka dependency and Universal Dependency. It also presents a brief idea of the implementation of these models in the SMT system for English-Bhojpuri language pair.

The demo proposal presents a Phrase-based Sanskrit-Hindi (SaHiT) Statistical Machine Translation system. The system has been developed on Moses. 43k sentences of Sanskrit-Hindi parallel corpus and 56k sentences of a monolingual corpus in the target language (Hindi) have been used. This system gives 57 BLEU score.
Distinguishing between arguments and adjuncts of a verb is a longstanding, nontrivial problem. In natural language processing, argumenthood information is important in tasks such as semantic role labeling (SRL) and prepositional phrase (PP) attachment disambiguation. In theoretical linguistics, many diagnostic tests for argumenthood exist but they often yield conflicting and potentially gradient results. This is especially the case for syntactically oblique items such as PPs. We propose two PP argumenthood prediction tasks branching from these two motivations: (1) binary argument-adjunct classification of PPs in VerbNet, and (2) gradient argumenthood prediction using human judgments as gold standard, and report results from prediction models that use pretrained word embeddings and other linguistically informed features. Our best results on each task are (1) $acc.=0.955$, $F_1=0.954$ (ELMo+BiLSTM) and (2) Pearsons $r=0.624$ (word2vec+MLP). Furthermore, we demonstrate the utility of argumenthood prediction in improving sentence representations via performance gains on SRL when a sentence encoder is pretrained with our tasks.
As language models are trained on ever more text, researchers are turning to some of the largest corpora available. Unlike most other types of datasets in NLP, large unlabeled text corpora are often presented with minimal documentation, and best practices for documenting them have not been established. In this work we provide the first documentation for the Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus (C4; Raffel et al., 2020), a dataset created by applying a set of filters to a single snapshot of Common Crawl. We begin with a high-level summary of the data, including distributions of where the text came from and when it was written. We then give more detailed analysis on salient parts of this data, including the most frequent sources of text (e.g., patents.google.com, which contains a significant percentage of machine translated and/or OCRd text), the effect that the filters had on the data (they disproportionately remove text in AAE), and evidence that some other benchmark NLP dataset examples are contained in the text. We release a web interface to an interactive, indexed copy of this dataset, encouraging the community to continuously explore and report additional findings.
In this paper we describe the Japanese-English Subtitle Corpus (JESC). JESC is a large Japanese-English parallel corpus covering the underrepresented domain of conversational dialogue. It consists of more than 3.2 million examples, making it the largest freely available dataset of its kind. The corpus was assembled by crawling and aligning subtitles found on the web. The assembly process incorporates a number of novel preprocessing elements to ensure high monolingual fluency and accurate bilingual alignments. We summarize its contents and evaluate its quality using human experts and baseline machine translation (MT) systems.
In our previous work we demonstrated that a single headed attention encoder-decoder model is able to reach state-of-the-art results in conversational speech recognition. In this paper, we further improve the results for both Switchboard 300 and 2000. Through use of an improved optimizer, speaker vector embeddings, and alternative speech representations we reduce the recognition errors of our LSTM system on Switchboard-300 by 4% relative. Compensation of the decoder model with the probability ratio approach allows more efficient integration of an external language model, and we report 5.9% and 11.5% WER on the SWB and CHM parts of Hub500 with very simple LSTM models. Our study also considers the recently proposed conformer, and more advanced self-attention based language models. Overall, the conformer shows similar performance to the LSTM; nevertheless, their combination and decoding with an improved LM reaches a new record on Switchboard-300, 5.0% and 10.0% WER on SWB and CHM. Our findings are also confirmed on Switchboard-2000, and a new state of the art is reported, practically reaching the limit of the benchmark.
