Google Research Award
I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Linguistics
at the University of California, Berkeley during 2015-16. My appointment was
funded by a Google Research Award [details],
granted to the Script Encoding Initiative.
This appointment gave me the opportunity to work on various NLP issues
regarding under-resourced languages and to develop Unicode encodings for
regional scripts used for minority languages in South Asia and
historical scripts of Central Asia.
