HLT Definition

Alternative Name

• Language Technology

• Natural Language Technology

Human Language

Technology is the study of

computational systems that

process natural languages in

all forms i.e. in Text, image

or in Voice.

THREE LAIRS OF HLT


01. WORD PROCESSING

Input & output of alphabet & grammar (PoS)

locally or on remote servers, font development,

translations, transliterations, Web embedding,

lairing of core coding etc.

02. IMAGE PROCESSING

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of core

& traditional typographies, boxing (XY

determination) of traditional typography (fonts)

03. VOICE PROCESSINGText to Speech & Speech to text transformation,

training of dialects, age, gender, moods, atmosphere

etc. in HLT.

And finally Artificial Intelligence


Artificial Intelligence

Forth destination & gateway to infinity

In this arena, languages in HLT can be incorporate

in all life related engineering, technologies,

medical science, space science, agriculture,

motors, robots etc.… etc.…

Where Sindhi Language stands


We have worked on:

1. Language adding locally /

remote servers.

2. Added Sindhi alphabet in

core query.

3. Font development.

4. Web embedding.

5. Content compilation

6. ????????????????

Word

Unicode allotment,

Alphabet, fonts embedding,

content migration

Sindh in Information Technology @ Glance


Think about the future of Sindh and

synchronization with global market!

According to local market and IP as well IPS

statistics

And this is the future technology which goes on

high and high.

This literacy ratio is based on census and collected

data provided by NADRA.

English 10% People understand

Literate persons

Human Language Technology necessary to bridge the gap.

Minus & Plus FACTORS


Lack of

institute

Lack of

Language

Engineers

UNICODE,

Nasakh,

Dedicated

developers

Due to lack of autonomous institute

HLT of Sindhi language is orphan

where huge budget can be utilized in

advancement of Language

Computing.

Un-availability of language engineers

brings irrational emotionalism and non-

scientific approach. Similar phonetic

letters in Sindhi alphabet had closed

doors in further advancement

Free lance Sindhi developers have

been programming in content shifting,

UNICODE had merged Sindhi

Language in UTF-8, Typography of

Sindhi is Nasakh which made easy

accessing.

Factors where Sindhi Language is in driving mode or in retrieving path.

WHAT WE NEED?


Autonomous Institute

Where experts of sociological background,

linguistics and computational engineers

may be appointed and handsome

budget may be allotted.

Research ApproachResearch on all developments and

programming of advancement must be

incorporated in Sindhi HLT.

Visionary Developers

Binary coders, developers of web, apps,

portals and cloud computing experts

must be identified and hire them asap.

Discuss Dialogue

Regarding similar phonetic alphabetical

characters, forthcoming challenges the

discuss dialogues are needful with

linguistics, publishers, political leaders

etc.….

SOME MYTHS & REALITIES


It is stated everywhere that Sindhi

language is not completely

added in UNICODE consortium,

that is why some characters are

not properly working.

Truth is, in UTF-8 all Arabic

structured languages including

Sindhi has been added and all

characters, glyphs, punctuation

marks have now properly their

own codes.

The actual problem relates with Font-

developers and in core alphabet

of Sindhi Language.

ABOUT UNICODE SINDHI COMPUTING LINGUISTICS / LAN-ENG

Just Font development is actually

Sindhi Computing! Which isn’t

correct.

Fonts are simply dresses over

Skelton or body. Fonts relate

with designing of written

material. Similarly designing is

not actually core development

or programming. It is just over-

writing on demo content.

Some mobile manufacturing models

don’t support Sindhi language,

therefore Sindhi language is

not Universal.

Reality is the default font of mobile

system has not eligible as per

INTEL standards and in beta

phase.

We do believe that a linguistic is

also a Language Engineer.

Reality is there is huge difference

between linguistic & a

language engineers. A

linguistic focuses on meaning

of words and properly usage

of the language but an

engineer emphasis over the

characters and their migration

to the universalized digital

formats.

A language engineer processes the

language in multi-mode

programming of Computing

technology.
