The joint collaboration of AI-NLP-ML Research Group, IIT Patna and Flipkart towards bringing research from the laboratory to the actual use-cases. Please refer to this media coverage:

        Key Messages

        - Native language interface imparts understanding, reduce guesswork and make online shopping more engaging for customers from rural cities.

        - To offer a colloquial vernacular language interface experience, Flipkart partnered with IIT Patna to build local language models for user generated content.

        - For unstructured sentences, generic machine translation services like Google and Microsoft are largely ineffective. Flipkart’s collaboration with IIT-Patna helped build of-the-box prototypes for translating complex text.

        - The partnership also helped in addressing challenges such as lack of parallel corpora, translation of codemix sentences and much more.

        - The share of Indian-language users on Flipkart increased from 12% in Q4 2020 to 18% in Q4 2021.
