Shared Task

Task Overview

Typing Romanized Indo-Aryan languages using adhoc transliterations with or without vowels and achieving accurate native script output is a complex and often inaccurate process with the current keyboard systems. This task aims to introduce and evaluate a real-time reverse transliterator that converts Romanized Indo-Aryan languages (Native Language written using English Alphabets) to their native scripts, improving the typing experience for users of these languages.

Objectives of Shared Task

The objectives of the shared task are to develop a real-time transliterator, handle variations, and enhance typing accuracy. The transliterator should be able to handle Ad-hoc Transliterations (short typing scripts) : different typing patterns with or without vowel combinations.
