- As mentioned before in section 1, each Bengali word is comprised of segmental units called graphemes. Bengali has 48 characters in its alphabet- 11 vowels and 38 consonants (including special characters ‘ৎ’{ṯ},‘◌ং’ {ṁ},‘◌ঃ’{ḥ}).

grapheme root. Graphemes in Bengali consist of a root character which may be a vowel or a consonant or a consonant conjunct along with vowel and consonant diacritics whose occurrence is optional. These three symbols together make a grapheme in Bengali. The consonant and vowel diacritics can occur horizontally, verti-

To find the popular graphemes, we use the text transcriptions for the Google Bengali ASR dataset as our reference corpus. The ASR dataset contains a large volume of transcribed Bengali speech data. It consists of \(127565 \) utterances comprising \(609510 \) words and \(2111256 \) graphemes. Out of these graphemes, \(1295 \)commonly used Bengali g...
Bengali graphemes can have multiple characters depending on the number of consonants, vowels or diacritics forming the grapheme. We split the characters of a Bengali grapheme into three target variables based on their co-occurrence: 1. 1. Vowel Diacritics, i.e. . If the grapheme consists of a vowel diacritic, it is generally the final character in ...
The data was obtained from Bengali speaking volunteers in schools, colleges and universities. A standardized form (See Section A of Appendix in supplementary materials) with alignment markers were printed and distributed. A total of 2896 volunteers participated in the project. Each subject could be uniquely identified through their institutional id...
The metadata collected through forms are compiled together for further studies on dependency of handwriting with each of the meta domains. Since the data was crowd-sourced, the distribution with respect to factors such as age and education is subject to interest and availability of contributors. This could possibly introduce demographic biases so w...
A breakdown of the composition of the train and test sets of the dataset is given in Table 1. Additionally, a breakdown of the roots into vowels, consonants and conjuncts along with the number of unique classes and samples for each target is also shown. Note that the absence of a diacritic which is labeled as the null diacritic ‘0’ is not considere...
We divide the roots into three groups- vowels, consonants, and consonant conjuncts- and inspect class imbalance within each. There are linguistic rules which constrict the number of diacritics that may occur with each of these roots, e.g. vowel roots never have added diacritics. Although imbalance in vowel roots is not major, it must be noted becau...

Nov 16, 2021 · Despite being one of the most spoken languages in the world ( 6th based on population), research regarding Bengali handwritten grapheme (smallest functional unit of a writing system) classification has not been explored widely compared to other prominent languages.

Feb 19, 2020 · Being the 5th most spoken language in the world, Bengali is also one of the most complex. Bengali’s alphabet is made up of 11 vowels, 7 consonants, and 168 grapheme roots. This results in ~13,000 different character variations; compared to English’s 250 characters variations.

classify grapheme components: roots, vowels, and consonants from a given Bengali grapheme image. The missing combi-nations of graphmeme components in the dataset, the high number of classes for each component, and the huge size of dataset i.e. ˇ 4:83 GB make this classification task very challenging.
This dataset contains images of individual hand-written Bengali characters. Bengali characters (graphemes) are written by combining three components: a grapheme_root, vowel_diacritic, and consonant_diacritic. Your challenge is to classify the components of the grapheme in each image.
Oct 1, 2020 · We propose a labeling scheme based on graphemes (linguistic segments of word formation) that makes segmentation in-side alpha-syllabary words linear and present the first dataset of Bengali handwritten graphemes that are commonly used in an everyday context.
