Punjabi WordNet Project
Punjabi WordNet is an online lexical resource. It is more than a conventional Punjabi dictionary. It is a combination of a dictionary and a thesaurus and much more. It provides information about a word from different perspectives with intra-word relationships.
A user can search for a Punjabi word and get its meaning. In addition, it gives the grammatical category namely noun, verb, adjective or adverb for the word being searched. Apart from the category for each sense, the Punjabi WordNet also provides information about the meaning of the word, example of the word usage, its synonyms (words with similar meanings), its antonyms and semantic and lexical relations of the selected word.
Hindi sentiment analysis system
This system provides real-time sentiments of input Hindi sentences. This system performs the sentiment analysis at three levels such as aspect, sentence and document level. At aspect level, the system accepts the input sentence and pre-processes it using Hindi dependency parser. The system extracts its relevant aspects and sentiment-bearing words and generates the dependency graph. Finally, the system assigns the polarity of sentiment word to its corresponding aspect on the basis of minimum path distance.
At the sentence level, the system takes the sentence as input and computes its polarity based on ML algorithms. The system is also able to perform sentiment analysis of tweets. It accepts the tweets on the basis of user-defined hash-tag and computes the overall polarity of hash-tag using machine learning and deep learning algorithms. This is system also has the facility to transliterate the input Hindi text using Google transliteration API.
