Summary: | Urdu is among the most widely used languages in the world for verbal and written communication. Due to lack of optimized and user friendly native Urdu-script support on various platforms, it is mostly written in Romanized script in soft form. In our research, we have developed a refined Urdu lexicon using tokens with the highest frequency of occurrence in the data set. This data set is basically a raw corpus of colloquial Urdu written in Romanized script. The corpus was collected from volunteer participants who used this language as a mode of communication on the Internet and text massaging. The raw corpus is passed through a series of steps such as Prepossessing, Tokenization and Annotation before passing it to computationally extensive subsequent steps. Edit Distance and K-means Clustering techniques are used for identification of candidate tokens and their potential selection/ inclusion in the refined lexicon. We have also identified most commonly used tokens, candidate tokens and other lingual attributes from the data collected. Based on analysis, we have proposed a computational model for refined colloquial Romanized Urdu lexicon development. © 2020 IEEE. |
