| Challenge: | Thirumurai is a collection of Tamil Shaivite poems dating back to the Hindu revival period . a large dataset containing all the Thirumuru poems is under-resourced . |
| Approach: | They propose to use transformers to classify the Tamil Pann and author of each poem . they propose to train models on petabytes of data, such as the common crawl data . |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset contains all the Thirumurai poems and classifies the Pann and author of each poem using transformer based architectures. |

Graph Based Semi-Supervised Learning Approach for Tamil POS tagging (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Parts of Speech (POS) tagging is challenging for low resourced languages such as Tamil . low resource Tamil does not have large POS annotated corpus to build good quality POS taggers using supervised machine learning techniques. |
| Approach: | They propose a graph-based semi-supervised learning approach to classify unlabelled data using a small POS labelled data set. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves 0.8743 over 0.7333 produced by a CRF tagger for the same limited size corpus. |
