PROBLEM: This paper presents Centre for Development of Advanced Computing Mumbai’s (CDACM) submission to NLP Tools Contest on Statistical Machine Translation in Indian Languages (ILSMT) 2015 (collocated with ICON 2015). The aim of the contest was to collectively explore the effectiveness of Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) while translating within Indian languages and between English and Indian languages. In this paper, we report our work on all five language pairs, namely Bengali-Hindi (bn-hi), Marathi-Hindi (mrhi), Tamil-Hindi (ta-hi), Telugu-Hindi (tehi), and English-Hindi (en-hi) for Health, Tourism and General domains. We have used suffix separation, compound splitting and preordering prior to SMT training and testing.

SOLUTION: Statistical Machine Translation for Indian Languages: Mission Hindi 2

PROBLEM: In this work we aim to discover high quality speech features and linguistic units directly from unlabeled speech data in a zero resource scenario. The results are evaluated using the metrics and corpora proposed in the Zero Resource Speech Challenge organized at Interspeech 2015. A Multi-layered Acoustic Tokenizer (MAT) was proposed for automatic discovery of multiple sets of acoustic tokens from the given corpus. Each acoustic token set is specified by a set of hyperparameters that describe the model configuration. These sets of acoustic tokens carry different characteristics fof the given corpus and the language behind, thus can be mutually reinforced. The multiple sets of token labels are then used as the targets of a Multi-target Deep Neural Network (MDNN) trained on low-level acoustic features. Bottleneck features extracted from the MDNN are then used as the feedback input to the MAT and the MDNN itself in the next iteration. We call this iterative deep learning framework the Multi-layered Acoustic Tokenizing Deep Neural Network (MAT-DNN), which generates both high quality speech features for the Track 1 of the Challenge and acoustic tokens for the Track 2 of the Challenge. In addition, we performed extra experiments on the same corpora on the application of query-by-example spoken term detection. The experimental results showed the iterative deep learning framework of MAT-DNN improved the detection performance due to better underlying speech features and acoustic tokens.

SOLUTION: AN ITERATIVE DEEP LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR UNSUPERVISED DISCOVERY OF SPEECH FEATURES AND LINGUISTIC UNITS WITH APPLICATIONS ON SPOKEN TERM DETECTION

PROBLEM: The basic features of some of the most versatile and popular open source frameworks for machine learning (TensorFlow, Deep Learning4j, and H2O) are considered and compared. Their comparative analysis was performed and conclusions were made as to the advantages and disadvantages of these platforms. The performance tests for the de facto standard MNIST data set were carried out on H2O framework for deep learning algorithms designed for CPU and GPU platforms for single-threaded and multithreaded modes of operation. Keywords—machine learning; deep learning; TensorFlow; Deep Learning4j; H2O; MNIST; multicore CPU; GPU.

SOLUTION:
