PHRASE STRUCTURE BASED ENGLISH TO KANNADA SENTENCE TRANSLATION
In order to build a natural language processing system first the words are placed into a structured form that leads to a syntactically correct sentence. Syntactic analysis of a sentence is performed by parsing technique. This paper explores the novel approach that how the shift reduce parsing technique is used for translating English sentences into a grammatically correct Kannada sentences by reordering of English parse tree structure, generating and implementing phrase structure grammar(PSG) for kannada sentences. Recursive Descent Parsing technique is used to generate English phrase tree structure and terminal symbols are tagged with Kannada equivalent words then Shift-Reduce Parsing technique is used to construct a Kannada sentence. Part-of-Speech (POS) tagger is used to tag Kannada words to English words. It is implemented by using supervised machine learning approach
