The Tamil Nadu government will be organising a three-day ‘KaniTamil 24’ conference here in February 2024 in line with an announcement made in this year’s budget that an international conference on Tamil computing would be organised, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Wednesday.
In a release, he said the conference would elaborate on the latest advancements in computing and exploring the possibilities of using Tamil in natural language processing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, machine translation, sentimental analysis, large language models and automatic speech recognition.
The conference, which is planned for February 8,9 and 10 at the Chennai Trade Centre, will be organised by the Tamil Virtual Academy (TVA). Mr. Stalin recalled how TVA was born as a result of ‘TamilNet 99’, the conference on Tamil computing organised when M. Karunanidhi was the Chief Minister in 1999. The second such conference on Tamil computing is being organised after 25 years, during which technology has rapidly developed, he added.
