Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsARABIC PART OF SPEECH TAGGING USING K-NEAREST NEIGHBOUR AND NAIVE BAYES CLASSIFIERS COMBINATIONRund Mahafdah, Nazlia Omar, Omaia Al-OmariPart Of Speech (POS) tagging forms the important preprocessing step in many of the natural language processing applications such as text summarization, question answering and information retrieval system. It is the process of classifying every word in a given context to its appropriate part of speech. Different POS tagging techniques in the literature have been developed and experimented. Currently, it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 2 May 2014 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAN IMPROVED ARABIC WORD'S ROOTS EXTRACTION METHOD USING N-GRAM TECHNIQUENidal Yousef, Aymen Abu-Errub, Ashraf Odeh, Hayel KhafajehArabic language is distinguished by its morphological richness, which forces the workers in the field of Arabic language Processing (i.e., information retrieval, document's classification, text summarizing) to deal with many words that seem to be different but in reality they came from an identical root word. One of the methods to overcome this problem is to return the words to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 26 Dec 2013 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsArabic Named Entity Recognition Using Artificial Neural NetworkNaji F. Mohammed, Nazlia OmarProblem statement: Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a task to identify proper names as well as temporal and numeric expressions, in an open-domain text. The NER task can help to improve the performance of various Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications such as Information Extraction (IE), Information Retrieval (IR) and Question Answering (QA) tasks. This study discusses on the Named Entity … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 16 Jul 2012 · 8,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNovel Automatic Query Building Algorithm Using Similarity ThesaurusHayel Khafajeh, Aymen Abu-Errub, Ashraf Odeh, Nidal YousefOne of the most effective factors on the natural language researches is the data set which plays a significant role in designing, improving and evaluation the information retrieval systems and other applications for natural language processing. Unfortunately, building a proper data set consume time, labor and effort, in particular the query extraction from the data set documents. In this study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 7,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFinding What You Expect to See: Theoretical Modeling in PsycholinguisticsKathleen AhrensProblem statement: Theories of language processing rely upon experimental evidence to support or reject their hypotheses. Yet it is often the case that conflicting theories flourish alongside each other for decades, with voluminous experimental evidence to support their respective hypotheses. Approach: In this study, I suggest it is imperative for researchers to move beyond their own experiments and results to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 18 May 2012 · 8,227 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGrammatical Relation Extraction in Arabic LanguageOthman Ibrahim Hammadi, Mohd Juzaiddin Ab AzizProblem statement: Grammatical Relation (GR) can be defined as a linguistic relation established by grammar, where linguistic relation is an association among the linguistic forms or constituents. Fundamentally the GR determines grammatical behaviors such as: placement of a word in a clause, verb agreement and the passivity behavior. The GR of Arabic language is a necessary prerequisite for many natural … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 17 Mar 2012 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRule Based Shallow Parser for Arabic LanguageMona Ali Mohammed, Nazlia OmarProblem statement: One of language processing approaches that compute a basic analysis of sentence structure rather than attempting full syntactic analysis is shallow syntactic parsing. It is an analysis of a sentence which identifies the constituents (noun groups, verb groups, prepositional groups), but does not specify their internal structure, nor their role in the main sentence. The only technique used … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 7,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsQArabPro: A Rule Based Question Answering System for Reading Comprehension Tests in ArabicMohammed Akour, Sameer Abufardeh, Kenneth Magel, Qasem Al-RadaidehProblem statement: Extensive research efforts in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) were focused on developing reading comprehension Question Answering systems (QA) for Latin based languages such as, English, French and German. Approach: However, little effort was directed towards the development of such systems for bidirectional languages such as Arabic, Urdu and Farsi. In general, QA systems are more … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMachine Translation System in Indian PerspectivesSanjay Kumar Dwivedi, Pramod Premdas SukhadeveProblem statement: In a large multilingual society like India, there is a great demand for translation of documents from one language to another language. Approach: Most of the state government works in there provincial languages, whereas the central government’s official documents and reports are in English and Hindi. Results: In order to have an appropriate communication there is a need … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Jul 2010 · 8,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Question Answering System for the Arabic LanguageGhassan Kanaan, Awni Hammouri, Riyad Al-Shalabi, Majdi SwalhaWe depict the architecture of a question answering system and methodically evaluate contributions of different system components to accuracy. The system differs from most question answering systems in its dependency on data redundancy rather than complicated linguistic analyses of either questions or contender answers. Because a wrong answer is often worse than no answer. A Question Answering (QA) system is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,922 accessesView PDFCite
