Abstract : Machine transliteration is an automatic method that converts words/characters in one
alphabetical system to corresponding phonetically equivalent words/characters in
another alphabetical system. Machine
Transliteration has been used extensively to
assist machine translation, data mining, information retrieval and more recently in
popular web portals, SMS and chat systems. In this paper, we propose a new method where transliteration problem is modeled as a sequence labeling problem and
proceed to solve this by using Support Vector Machines (SVM). We have applied this
technique for transliterating English to Tamil and achieved exact Tamil transliterations for 80% of English names. We get an
accuracy of 88% when we choose from the
first five ranked transliterations.
