2 P G Diploma in Computer Science and Natural Language Processing 1.

Introduction and objectives of the course ( पाठ्यक्रम की प्रस्तावना एवं उद्देश्य) To train Sanskrit scholars in the emerging field of Sanskrit Computational Linguistics, showing the relevance of Indian grammatical theories to the field of Computational Linguistics, thereby bridging the gap between the past and the present.
This programme belongs to an emerging and high-tech area of Natural Language Processing.

The past few years have seen considerable growth in the field of Sanskrit Computational Linguistics.

This course aims at disseminating this knowledge to Sanskrit scholars.

To deliver better technology, there is a need to train the manpower so that they can take up the challenges thrown open by the newly emerging field and provide meaningful solutions.
During the course, the students will be exposed to the basics of logic, computer programming and NLP in addition to exposure to linguistics and strengthening their base of Vyakarana.

In this course, we look at the relevance of language sciences from an Information Technology perspective.

This course will introduce the following modules a) Segmentation.
b) Word Analysers and Generators c) Sentential analyser and generator followed by the introduction to various Resources such as a) Lexical Resources b) Annotated corpus with a focus on Sanskrit and the Indian contribution to the language sciences.

2.

Qualification ( पाठ्यक्रम अध्ययन की योग्यता) This is a one-year course.

This has 42 credits in total.

The minimum qualification to get admission into this course is 50% in MA in Sanskrit from a recognized board (good knowledge in Vyakarana is necessary) 3.
Pedagogy ( पाठ्यक्रम की शिशक्षाप्रविवडिध) There will be classroom teaching lectures/tutorials followed by assignments or practical sessions (whichever is necessary at that time).

Workshops will be arranged whenever it is needed.

Learning materials (research papers, teaching materials, PowerPoint presentations, and videos of valuable lectures) will be provided.

Discussions among experts and students will also be conducted.
In case experts are not available offline we will arrange video conferencing for their talks/lectures.

4.

Consistency (सङ्गडित) India's unique contribution to the world is the theories of Language Sciences.

Sanskrit was the medium of serious communication for all discourses and scholarly communications until recent times.

We also have a very rich language and grammatical tradition in India.
Without knowing the structure of the Sanskrit language and grammar, it is often difficult to work for the development of Sanskrit in this technological era.

Also, without knowing how to do programming in Sanskrit through a computer and how to teach Sanskrit to a computer, this will be a bit difficult to work in the field of Sanskrit Computational Linguistics.
In the same way, until we do not know the process by which the human mind understands the language and works according to it, we will not be able to teach the computer either.

Therefore, each unit of this course is very relevant.

5.

Outcome (फलि/तांश) Through this course, we can keep our traditional and Indian knowledge tradition alive through technology for the next generation.

This course will also open new job opportunities for Sanskrit 3 students in various educational, industrial and IT sectors.
6.

Evaluation ( मूल्याङ्कन प्रविक्रया) Continuous assessment will be done through assignments, group discussions, written tests, practical sessions and PowerPoint presentations.
