Analysis of Semantic and Syntactic Properties of Urdu Verb by using Machine Learning
Keywords:
Lexical Semantics, Urdu Verbs, Natural language processingAbstract
This research paper analyses the syntactic and semantic properties of Urdu verbs with the help of machine learning techniques. In order to comprehend the syntactic and semantic characteristics of Urdu verbs the sentences were obtained from the online corpus and analysed in an algorithm. A general framework was adopted for Urdu natural language processing task (NLP) which incorporated machine learning (ML) and deep learning techniques to analyse Urdu verb text.
