Education is must for every one

Education is must for everyone . Every one should be educated . Without proper education we can not be matured . We have to know about the world , so we have to learn Geography . We have to know about the past so that we can proceed in future . SO we have to know about the History . Without maths we can not calculate . So math is must in primary education . We have to know about the nature and its mysteries . SO we have to know about science . Science is the true expalnation of everything , that is happening around us . Language learning is must as we can not communicate with each other with out it . We have to know about the mather tounge , national language , International Langauge .

Foe heigher education , English is must . Because , then we have to travel from one country to another. Without knowing proper english we can not communicate with each other . So we have to learn english from the beginning , from the primary education .

Work Pressure is low --- Reading is going on

At this month there is no work pressure . Sir is very busy with his work . He has told me to read some papers . But as I am very hungrey at reading so I have downloaded some thesis papers and started reading them . I am reading about Multi WOrd Expression , Dependency Parsing , and Question Answering papers / thesises . I love reading . So this is a great opportunity to read all the subjects which I do not know or like to read / know . Rightly I am reading a M tech thesis named "Dependency Parsing On Bengali Language " by Aniruddha Ghose.I have read some chapters of the MCSE thesis "Identification Of Multi Word Expression in Manipuri Text" By Nongmeikapam Kishorjit Singh . I dont know the Manipuri Language . SO I cant understand the whole meaning of the thesis . But I have understood some chapters of it .

Phase 1 of EILMT is about to end , Next phase will start soon

Phase 1 of English to Indian Langauge Machine Translation will end in few days or on 30 th june . Next phase will start soon . I can be switched to a new project on Question Aswering , but also I can be still on the same project . That is not decided at all .

Multi word Expression

Multi word expression is another NLP field to research .There are several workshop on it . Actually MWE is nothing but a group of words used as a single unit of word . Such a lal lal phul . Here lal lal is a MWE. Named Entities are also MWE. Such as Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar . Timothy Baldwin has done a lot of work in MWE. There are several kinds of MWE.

I am not Male Chauvinist

Male Chauvinism is a bad sign. One should not be male chauvinist . I am not male chauvinist . I respect woman . I have several examples where women has been in higher position than men . Take example of Indira Ghandhi , Kalpana Chawla , Sunita Williams . They are all great woman character. The whole nation is proud of them .We are all proud of them .
In my real life I have several female friends who are academically more success than me . They are all working in heigher positions in several multi national companies . They are all brilliant . I am very much proud of them .

SO my advice to all male , dont be male chauvinist . Respect woman , respect their talent .

Experience about my first Conference

In my life , the conference which I attended first is IJCNLP 2008 -- International Joint Conference on Natural Langauge Processing 2008. It was held in Hyderabad . The venue was ISB (Indian School Of Business ) . It was held in January first half. I satyed there in IIIT -H (Internatinal Institute of Informationa Technology - Hyderabad ) Boys hostel . My room partner was a chinese boy . I was a part of a big team form Jadavpur University . Asif Ekbal was the senior .There were Amitava , Tanik , Mithun , Partha , Rejwanul etc. It was a big team . I presented there a presentation - the work done in CLEF Compitition in workshop programme . They gave us a heavy lunch . We had a lot of fun there . We went there by flight from kolkata and returned by flight . It was a additional fun .

Experience in eForce Global as a Software Engineer

For three months I worked in eForce Global as a Software Engineer . It is a small company . But the salary pakage was high . They gave me arround 28k per month . The company is in Infinity Building in Sector V , Saltlake . Anish Biswas is the chief architect . I worked there in text classification using Naive Byes theory. They told me to present a tutorial in Ruby Programming language which I could not , as I did not know Ruby Programming Language . I learned there Java Enterprise Edition , servlets , Tom Cat , etc . One day I had a quarrel with one of the employee. The HR Dept asked me to resign from the job . After one week , I sent them my resignation letter by post . Thats all .

EXperience in IIT Kgp in CSE dept as a project Employee

I first went IIT Kgp ( Indian Institute of Technology , Kharagpur ) as a participant in Summar School in Natural Language Processing And Text Mining . It was a pleasant experience . After the summar school I went IIT Kgp to Prof Sudeshna Sarker in CSE Dept (Computer Science & Engineering Department ) to work under her guidance in a Project "Bengali Spell Checker" . She told me to read Levenstein Automata. It was a difficult topic . After several reading , I could not understand the topic . I stayed there in a hostel . Three persons in a room . I did not like it . I worked in Communication Empowerment laboratory .There I met with Sanjay , Barik , Surojit . All are staff under projects . Sanjay is a Phd student . Barik is a MS student. There were several linguists or language technology people . The people are very nice. There I met Nimesh , anothere MS Student .

Prof Sudeshna Sarker has a great personality . She is very simple in attitude . But she is very talented and intelligent and experienced . She has a great depth of knowledge .

A Book Lover or Bibliophile

It is true that I am a book lover. I love to read books, especially books of my related subjects. I have bought a lot of books both on my subject and on story . But I have not read all of them till now . Soon I will read all of them . I hope so . Besides that I love to read thesis (Phd thesis or Master degree thesis ) . I have downloaded a lot of thesis on my subject . They are very useful . Nowa days I get little time to read story books because of the study preassure . I love to read english news paper a lot . I read one english news paper regularly . Its my habbit . I like the english language a lot . Specialy the new words attract me a lot . I love to collect new unknown english words . I love the VOcabulary section in competitive exams. I like to read GRE word list also . But I cant remember all of them . Thats the problem .

Besides that I love to read statistics book also like book on Hidden Markov Model etc. This is related to my research work .

বাংলা ভাষা ( The Bengali Language )

বাংলা আমাদের মাতৃভাষা । বাংলাকে আমি ভালোবাসি। বাংলা ভাষা বাংলাদেশের রাষ্ট্রীয় ভাষা । বাংলা ভাষার জন্য গর্ব বোধ হয় । আর সেই বাংলা ভাষা নিয়েই আমার গবেষনা।জানিনা আমি কতদুর সফল হব । তবে চেষ্টা চালিয়ে যাচ্ছি । আমাদের এক দাদা সুদীপ নস্কর ইংরাজী ভাষা থেকে বাংলা ভাষায় অনুবাদ সিস্টেম তৈরী করেছেন । বাংলা ভাষা নিয়ে আরো অনেক কাছ হয় । আমাদের এক বন্ধু দিপংকর দাস বাংলা ভাষায় ইমোশন অ্যানালিসিস করছে। আমাদের আরেক দাদা আসীফ ইকবাল বাংলা ভাষার লোকের নাম ,জায়গার নাম ,রাস্তার নাম নিয়ে কাজ করেছে । আমাদের আরেক বন্ধু অমিতাভ দাস বাংলা ভাষায় সেন্টিমেন্ট অ্যানালিসিস করছে ।এছাড়াও বাংলা ভাষায় আরো অনেক কাজ হয় এখানে ।।

Bengali is our mother tongue . We love Bengali Language . Bengali is the national language of Bangladesh. We feel proud for bengali langauge.

Anamitra Roy Chowdhury .....

He is the first boy in our BCSE ( Bachelor Of Computer Science & Engineering ,2005 ) batch . He deserves to have a special column for him in my blog . Because with out his help I would not be what I am . He is from Navanalanda High School (Madhyamik ) and from South Point High School (Higher Scondary ) . He is very brilliant boy . He is very good at C Programming Language . He has solved me a lot of good C Propgramming Puzzles . Realy I am grateful to him . He helped me a lot in my other subjects also . I can remember one night . I went his house to get a copy of one class work . He was not angry with me that I spoiled his valuable time . The next day was the exam day . In spite of that he was calm , amicable . I can not forget those days . I cant forget his help . After BCSE he joined IIT Kanpur for M Tech . Then He joined IBM REsearch Lab . How bright he is . I cant imagine his depth of knowledge . He is one of my good friend ...

My friend .......
