About This Research

Kashmiri (کٲشُر) is a low-resource, endangered language spoken by over 7 million people in the Kashmir Valley, written in the Perso-Arabic script. Despite its cultural significance, it has extremely limited NLP resources compared to other Indian languages.

This project investigates whether large language models can be effectively fine-tuned for Kashmiri translation. Our research is ongoing, and detailed findings will be published in an upcoming conference paper.

What is Kashmir AI Research?

Kashmir AI Research is the first dedicated Kashmiri language evaluation platform and NLP research initiative. We are building the foundational AI infrastructure for the Kashmiri language — a low-resource language spoken by over 7 million people that has been largely overlooked by mainstream machine translation systems. Our platform enables structured human evaluation of Kashmiri→English machine translation by native speakers, generating high-quality preference data for model training and benchmarking.

Our work spans AI research in Kashmir, parallel corpus construction, LLM fine-tuning with LoRA, and rigorous inter-annotator reliability analysis. As a pioneer in NLP for low-resource languages, we aim to set a reproducible standard for Kashmiri language technology — with open datasets, published benchmarks, and a growing community of native speaker evaluators contributing to the future of machine translation for Kashmiri.
