The Linguistic Data Consortium for Indian Languages (LDC-IL) is a Scheme of the Ministry of Education and it works on development of digital corpora in Indian languages. Housed in the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysuru, the LDC-IL organised the 8th Project Advisory Committee meeting here on Monday.
Chaired by Shailendra Mohan, director, CIIL, the meeting was attended by various domain experts and industry specialists. As an important outcome, LDC-IL launched 16 new datasets in Indian languages to help bolster quality research in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
The first of its kind, these datasets will help develop new technologies in Indian languages, including Automatic Speech Recognition, Live Voice Translation and improve the quality of the results by such tools in Indian languages, a press release from the CILL said.
