Apologies for cross posting The Third Workshop on Speech and Language Technologies for Dravidian Languages -(DravidianLangTech-2023)
Link: https://dravidianlangtech.github.io/2023/ The development of technology increases our internet use and most of the world's languages adapt to it. Whereas the local or under-resourced languages still pose challenges as they still lack effective technology developments on their languages, one such language family is the Dravidian family of languages. Dravidian languages <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dravidian_languages> are majorly spoken in south India and in small pockets in Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and a few other places in South Asia. Even though the Proto Dravidian language is 4,500 years old, still the languages of this family are under-resourced in speech and natural language processing. The Dravidian languages are divided into four major groups: South, South-Central, Central, and North groups. Dravidian morphology is agglutinating in that it is exclusively suffixal in nature. Syntactically, Dravidian languages are head-final and left-branching. They are free-constituent order languages. To improve access to and production of information for monolingual speakers of Dravidian languages, it is necessary to have speech and languages technologies. The aim of the proposed workshops is especially to prevent the Dravidian languages from extinction in the context of their use of technology. This is planned to be the first workshop of this kind on speech and language technologies for Dravidian languages. The broader objective of DravidianLangTech-2023 will be - To investigate challenges related to speech and language resource creation for Dravidian languages. - To promote research in speech and language technology of Dravidian languages. - To adopt to an appropriate language technology models which suit Dravidian languages - To provide opportunities for researchers from the Dravidian language community from around the world to collaborate with other researchers.
