Some Fun Stuffs!
Apart from Physics, I have interests in free softwares, in particular those related to computing in Bengali (my native language).
In my free time, I have been experimenting and coding for a free (as in freedom) machine translator for Bengali, Anubadok.
Anubadok translation system relies on a Penn Treebank Tagger for parts of speech tagging. For this purpose, I had to enhance some functionality of Brill's rule-based parts-of-speech tagger. The modified tagger is available as GPoSTTL.
You can download an improved version of Firefox-plugin Padma for reading various Bengali online news papers (such as Anandabazar) in Linux, Mac from here.
Here is the link to an English to Bengali dictionary run by Ankur.
