Recently I had attended a lecture about Science and Technology in Ancient India. Actually the lecture was more about ancient Indian mathematics than Science and technology.
We were told that only now with all the computational aids they have really started to understand and appreciate the writings of Panini about Sanskrit language.
The first Symposium on Sanskrit Computational Linguistics was held in Paris from October 29-31, 2007.
The following papers were presented.
1) Exocentric Compounds in Classical Sanskrit/ – by Brendan Gillon, Mc Gill University, Montreal.
2) From Paninian Sandhi to Finite State Calculus/ – by Malcolm D Hyman, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin.
3) Analysis of Sanskrit text: Parsing and Semantic Relations/ – by Pawan Goyal, Vipla Arora and Laxmidhar Behera, Electical Engineering, IIT Kanpur.
4) Sanskrit Tagger, a Stochastic Lexical and POS tagger for Sanskrit/ – by Oliver Hellwig, Department for Languages and Cultures of Southern Asia, Freie Universität, Berlin.
5) Inflectional Morphology Analyzer for Sanskrit/ – by Girish Nath Jha, Muktanand Agrawal, Subhash, Sudhir K Mishra, Diwakar Mani, Diwakar Mishra, Manji Bhadra and Surjit K Singh, Special Centre for Sanskrit Studies, JNU, New Delhi.
6) Phonological Overgeneration in the Paninian System/ – by Malhar Kulkarni, Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Mumbai.
7) Modelling Paninean Grammar/ – Peter M Scharf, Brown University
8) Simulating the Paninian System of Sanskrit Grammar/ – by Anand Mishra, Ruprecht Karls University, Heidelberg.
9) An Effort to Develop a Tagged Lexical Resource for Sanskrit/ – by Srinivasa Varakhedi, V Jaddipal and V Sheeba, Rashtriya Sanskrit Vedyapeetha Deemed University, Tirupati.
10) Critical Edition of Sanskrit Texts/ – by Marc Csernel, Project AXIS, INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt and Francois Patte, UFR de Mathematiques et Informatique, Universite Paris Descartes.
Anyone who is interested may get in touch with me. There are Videos available.
