Hi,<br>
I'm Shafeeq, a second year CSE student from NSS College of<br>
Engineering, Palakkad.<br>
I am interested in this year's GSOC project "A spell checker for Indic<br>
language that understands inflections". I've been reading and doing a<br>
little of homework for this project, as suggested by the mentor.<br>
<br>
I couldn't find any affix rules for malayalam in the corresponding<br>
affix file. Does that mean currently we rely only on the collection of<br>
words for spell check?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, that is right. Two links about a related discussion.</div><div><ul style="border:0px;margin:0.4em 0px 0.5em 2.5em;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;list-style:square;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;background-color:rgb(186,205,216)">

Hunspell manual suggests only two-fold suffix stripping. Since it was<br>
mentioned that Indic languages might require as much as 5 levels of<br>
stripping, is Hunspell the way forward? I saw an experimental<br>
indic-stemmer in SILPA. Couldn't we expand it to handle the multilevel<br>
suffix stripping?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Please check <a href="http://wiki.smc.org.in/User:%E0%B4%B8%E0%B4%A8%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A4%E0%B5%8B%E0%B4%B7%E0%B5%8D/HunspellConversation">http://wiki.smc.org.in/User:%E0%B4%B8%E0%B4%A8%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A4%E0%B5%8B%E0%B4%B7%E0%B5%8D/HunspellConversation</a></div>

About the agglutinations of words and suffixes, I came across a paper<br>
while reading about it [1]. Could you please suggest some other<br>
documents as well?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
