Summary: The Center for Tamil NLP research conducts a thorough literature review on the existing methodologies, prior work and language resources regarding the research topics identified. The literature review would aim to identify gaps in current knowledge, avoid reinventing the wheel and allows to show that we build on a foundation of existing knowledge and ideas. It identifies other people working in the same field. Knowing who’s already working in the area and getting in touch with them can be an invaluable source of knowledge and support. A literature review shows in-depth grasp of the subject; understands where the research fits into and adds to an existing body of agreed knowledge.
This would be conducted by following a taxonomy which is a popular approach in conducting literature reviews in a very structured and detailed way. We intend to develop a taxonomy which would characterize all aspects of Tamil NLP research and provide a comprehensive analysis of the current approaches in this field. This would help us to identify gaps in the techniques which could be very useful to identify directions of future research. A taxonomy consists of several dimensions of interest to the research area and it could be adopted and modified further by adding sub-dimensions according to the project area being studied.
