Chief Minister’s Tamil Computing Award 2017 We are happy to
receive the news that ‘Piripori’ a software developed by our foundation has
received the Chief Minister’s Tamil Computing Award of 2017. In the past five
years, as a non-profit organisation, we have been involved in active research
and development in the field of language computing.
We have developed more than
10 software services that are free for users available in www.karky.in/labs.
Our dictionary ‘Chol’ has more than 5.4 lakh Tamil words collected and created
by our team. Our tools are being used by thousands of users from all over the
world everyday. For the purpose of Tamil learning and Tamil search, we
developed the tool Piripori.
This tool was built with 280 noun rules, 880 verb
rules and 50 compund word rules to morphologically analyse more than 10 crore
morphological variations of Tamil words. Piripori can analyse 1.5 lakh words in
6 seconds and thus can index a digital library of 15 thousand books in 20
seconds for efficient search. Piripori also has a coverage of 71%. The tool
also helps Tamil learners and students to understand the morphological
variations of Tamil words. Under the guidance of Dr. Madhan Karky, Piripori was
developed by Kanniyammal, Manju, Dr. Swathi, Sindhu, Anitha, Aarthy,
Elanchezhiyan and Rajapandian. The research paper on Piripori recently won the
best paper award in an international conference.
This software has been granted
the 2017’s Chief Minister’s Tamil Computing Award. We heartfully thank our
Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Tamil Development Department and each
and every person in this award selection committee for giving us the
encouragement to work more in the field of Tamil Computing.
