Abstract
In 2012, in the Center for the Georgian Language Technology (GLTC) at the Georgian Technical University (GTU), there was started a project “Georgian Technological Alphabet (hereafter GTA)”, which is lead by K. Pkhakadze and which is elaborated on the basis of further development of the state priority program “Free and Complete Inclusion of A Computer in Natural Georgian Language System”, which, also, was lead by K. Pkhakadze. In particular, in 2012, at the GTU, there were started doctoral theses “Georgian Speech Syn- thesis and Recognition” and “Georgian Grammar Checker (Analyzer)” (doctoral students: G. Chichua and M. Chikvinidze, supervisor: K. Pkhakadze - the full professor of the Department of Artificial Intelligence at GTU), which have fundamental importance in the process of creating the GTA. Furthermore, in the GLTC, on 25th of April 2013, there was started a project “Foundations of the Logical Grammar of the Georgian Language and its Application in Information Technology”, which is funded by Rustaveli Foundation1, and on 1st of October 2013, there was started another project: “The Extensible Internet Versions of the Basic Systems for Creating the GTA” (the leader of both of the projects: the director of the GLTC K. Pkhakadze). The researches, which are being pursued in the confines of the above-mentioned projects and doctoral theses, are considered to have fundamental importance for the preparatory stage of the project GTA. Thus, in the paper, we overview the aims, methods and results of our above-underlined researches aimed at the creation of GTA. Also, we pay special attention to the alarming lagging condition of the Georgian language in which the Georgian language is in the digital age.
