ICCR Collaborates with Google for Global Promotion of Sanskrit
The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) announced a collaboration with Google to promote Sanskrit.
ICCR and Google had earlier signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to advance the tech giant's artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) language technology for translating Sanskrit literature to many other languages and vice-versa.
Google received 100,000 sentence pairs from ICCR as part of the project's pilot phase in order to form its AI/ML models. The Sanskrit team from the University of Delhi, comprising academics, students and teachers, was led by professor Amarjiva Lochan.
