Building a Tool for Multi-word Expression Extraction in Kachin-Myanmar using Syntactic Parsing

Abstract

Syntactic analysis in Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one of the most important fields carried out in the world of artificial intelligence. NLP, a subfield of artificial intelligence and computational linguistics, can be applied as a productivity tool to translate from one language to another language. This thesis is based on Natural Language Processing concept and works for Kachin to Myanmar language translation by using syntactic analysis. Syntactic analysis is the Parsing- converting a flat input sentence into a hierarchal structure that corresponds to the units of with those stored in Bilingual Dictionary. If the computer understands the natural language, the computer and user communication will be smarter. Therefore language translation becomes a major role in the present day. The main purpose of this system is to translate Kachin Multi-word to Myanmar for document text. Moreover, this system can be applied as the Myanmar meaning for the Kachin students who are learning the Myanmar language.
