| Abstract | This paper describes a new technique of language modeling for a highly inflectional Dravidian language, Tamil. It aims to alleviate the main problems encountered in processing of Tamil language, like enormous vocabulary growth caused by the large number of different forms derived from one word. The size of the vocabulary was reduced by, decomposing the words into stems and endings and storing these sub word units (morphemes) in the vocabulary separately. A enhanced morpheme-based language model was designed for the inflectional language Tamil. The enhanced morpheme-based language model was trained on the decomposed corpus. The perplexity and Word Error Rate (WER) were obtained to check the efficiency of the model for Tamil speech recognition system. The results were compared with word-based bigram and trigram language models, distance based language model, dependency based language model and class based language model. From the results it was analyzed that the enhanced morpheme-based trigram model with Katz back-off smoothing effect improved the performance of the Tamil speech recognition system when compared to the word-based language models. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
