| Abstract | Recently it has been shown that modeling short vowels in Arabic can significantly improve performance even when producing a non-vocalized transcript. Since Arabic texts and audio transcripts are almost exclusively non-vocalized, the training methods have to overcome this missing data problem. For the acoustic models the procedure was bootstrapped with manually vocalized data and extended with semi-automatically vocalized data. In order to also capture the vowel information in the language model, a vocalized 4-gram language model trained on the audio transcripts was interpolated with the original 4-gram model trained on the (non-vocalized) written texts. Another challenge of the Arabic language is its large lexical variety. The out-of-vocabulary rate with a 65k word vocabulary is in the range of 4-8% (compared to under 1% for English). To address this problem a vocalized vocabulary containing over 1 million vocalized words, grouped into 200k word classes is used. This reduces the out-of-vocabulary rate to about 2%. The extended vocabulary and vocalized language model trained on the manually annotated data give a 1.2% absolute word error reduction on the DARPA RT04 development data. However, including the automatically vocalized transcripts in the language model reduces performance indicating that automatic vocalization needs to be improved |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
