UNL-ization of Numbers and Ordinals in Punjabi with IAN

In the field of Natural Language Processing, Universal Networking Language (UNL) has been an area of immense interest among researchers during last couple of years. Universal Networking Language (UNL) is an artificial Language used for representing information in a natural-language-independent format.This paper presents UNL-ization of Punjabi sentences with the help of different examples, containing numbers and ordinals written in words, using IAN (Interactive Analyzer) tool. In UNL approach, UNLization is a process of converting natural language resource to UNL and NL-ization, is a process of generating a natural language resource out of a UNL graph. IAN processes input sentences with the help of TRules and Dictionary entries. The proposed system performs the UNL-ization of up to fourteen digit number and ordinals, written in words in Punjabi language, with the help of 104 dictionary entries and 67 TRules. The system is tested on a sample of 150 random Punjabi Numbers and Ordinals, written in words, and its F-Measure comes out to be 1.000 (on a scale of 0 to 1).
