SBIR Phase I: Intelligent Word Completion for Indian Languages

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目涉及智能单词补全软件领域的研究，该软件适用于涉及数据输入的电子设备中使用的一系列印度语言。手机中的单词补全软件随处可见。然而，不同语言的属性有所不同(例如，在它们的脚本中)，因此一种语言的结果不一定会延续到其他语言。这项第一阶段研究的目标是通过采用已经为英语开发的新方法，将英语的卓越结果转化为印度语言的类似性能。印度(和亚洲)是最近增长最快的手机市场。它很快就会成为最大的市场之一。由于其低成本，短信在那里也得到了极其广泛的使用。因此，印度(和亚洲)语言的单词补全市场将面临重大变革。如果成功，结果将是为这些语言实施一种戏剧性的新能力，以应对巨大的市场机会。该奖项由2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公共法律111-5)资助。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project involves research in the area of intelligent word completion software as applied to a range of Indian languages for use in electronic devices where data entry is involved. Software for word completion in mobile phones is ubiquitous. However, the attributes for different languages vary (e.g. in their script), so the results for one language do not necessarily carry over to other languages. The goals of this Phase I research are to translate the superior results for English into similar performance for Indian languages by adapting the novel methods already developed for English.India (and Asia) has been the fastest growing market for cell phones recently. It will soon become one of the largest markets. Text messaging is also extremely widely used there owing to its low cost. Thus, there is a significant opportunity to transform the market for word completion in Indian (and Asian) languages. If successful, the result will be the implementation of a dramatic new capability for these languages that addresses a significant market opportunity.This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).
