Abstract

This paper gives an overview of a politeness recognition tool (PoRT) for Hindi that is currently under preparation. It describes the the kind of problems that need to be tackled with before developing the tool, the approach and the methodology that will be adopted for the development and testing of the tool, the current progress and the future plan to achieve this goal.
