1) Dr. A Kumaran from Microsoft Research discusses the need for language technology research and introduces the WikiBhasha project, which aims to crowdsource the creation of parallel text data for under-resourced languages on Wikipedia.
2) WikiBhasha allows users to edit Wikipedia articles directly on the site with machine translation and community corrections, submitting changes to Wikipedia. It has been released as an open source MediaWiki extension.
3) Data is critical for most language technologies, but is skewed towards languages with a large digital presence. WikiBhasha seeks to address this by enabling collaborative data creation for under-resourced languages through a focused Wikipedia contribution workflow.
Open Source Software (OSS) applications in libraries: Special Reference to Se...dbpublications
ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has transformed the libraries‟ working environment entirely. Today, most of the libraries have been performing their routine works with the assistance of computer technology and this technology has brought with it many benefits such as advancement; reduction in work timing, reduced man power, data preservation and security etc. In this era of technology, Internet is an indispensible phenomenon and has been providing so many technical supports especially in the field of library and information science in the form of
Open Sources Software (OSS). These days open sources softwares are becoming prevalent due to its immense significance. The Open Sources software provides free and easy accesses to the libraries as well as users can do changes and modification in it as well as they can run, copy, share, and improve the software with the desired requirements.
Clever data building a chatbot from your databaseLuis Beltran
The development of Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our lives and as time goes by, its presence will grow thanks to the momentum that enterprises are currently providing.
One of the most engaging AI applications are chatbots, which interact with real-time users in order to assist them to perform a task -such as booking a hotel, answering a question or looking for specific information on the Internet- while simulating that a real human is behind the scene.
Data is knowledge, and the data that has been stored in your Azure SQL database can be used as an input for a bot which assists a company's customers in order to process the information for them and return expected results.
This session will be focused on explaining what are the actors involved when building a bot capable of obtaining data from your storage, including Azure SQL Database, Microsoft Bot Framework and LUIS (Language Understanding Intelligent Services).

This presentation provides an overview of causes why library and information services are fading out of sight for most user groups and how these users and their expectations have changed without us realizing. It contains a strong plea for a focus shift for librarians, but in fact also for companies and organisations. A focus into the environments where the users are, instead of expecting them to come to us, or our resources. Exploration of all relevant user environments for your organization, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and certainly a more structural technical re-design of (library) information systems is required to deliver your services and resources at the place of need. A simple short-term solution like a QuickSearch Library Toolbar is explained, several other tools to “enrich” the user’s personal search environment, as well as the more long-term ongoing work at the Libraries of the University of Groningen and the Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen.

Sentiment analysis of Twitter data using pythonHetu Bhavsar
Twitter is a popular social networking website where users posts and interact with messages known as “tweets”. To automate the analysis of such data, the area of Sentiment Analysis has emerged. It aims at identifying opinionative data in the Web and classifying them according to their polarity, i.e., whether they carry a positive or negative connotation. We will attempt to conduct sentiment analysis on “tweets” using various different machine learning algorithms.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
