[silpa-discuss] Reg: Mentor-ship for GSOC project

[Naveen T S]

Hi,

My name is Naveen. I had graduated from IIIT-Hyderabad after completing my MS By Research under Prof. C V Jawahar. More details on my thesis can be found at http://cvit.iiit.ac.in/research/thesis/18-thesis-students/32-word-recognition-of-indic-scripts

At present, I am working as a Research Engineer in a company called MyScript (www.myscript.com). Our company specializes in online handwriting recognition for several languages.

Minesh Mathew, who is applying for the spellchecker project under 'Indic Project' has requested me if I can mentor his project in case the organization do not assign any mentor(s) from their side. I have gone through his project proposal draft which suggests to use modern ML approaches to error detection and correction in the context of an inflectional language like Malayalam. In fact I had earlier worked in this domain and has a publication in ICDAR 2013 titled as 'Error Detection in Highly inflectional Languages'.

If his proposal is selected for GSoC I am willing to mentor him for the entire period.

Looking forward to your reply 

Regards,

Naveen TS
