This paper addresses this problem by carrying out a study of Arabic–English semantic similarity in short phrases and sentences. Human-rated benchmark dataset was carefully constructed for this research. Dictionary and machine translation techniques were employed to determine the relatedness between the cross-lingual … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 7,508 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.
