چکیده

This paper focuses on the automatic extraction of Arabic Named Entities (NEs) from the Arabic Wikipedia (AWP), their automatic attachment to Arabic WordNet (AWN) and their automatic link to Princeton's English WordNet (PWN). We briefly report on the current status of AWN, focusing on its rather limited NE coverage. Our proposal of automatic extension is then presented, applied and evaluated. Keywords—Arabic NLP, Arabic WordNet, Named Entities Extraction, Wikipedia

Our main idea involves using overlapping entries in the encyclopedia and ontology and a small set of 30 handed tagged parenthetic explanations to automatically generate the training data. The proposed method involv...

Supersense Tagging for Arabic: the MT-in-the-Middle Attack

We consider the task of tagging Arabic nouns with WordNet supersenses. Three approaches are evaluated. The first uses an expertcrafted but limited-coverage lexicon, Arabic WordNet, and heuristics. The second uses unsupervised sequence modeling. The third and most successful approach uses machine translation to translate the Arabic into English, which is automatically tagged with English superse...

An Automatically Built Named Entity Lexicon for Arabic

We have successfully adapted and extended the automatic Multilingual, Interoperable Named Entity Lexicon approach to Arabic, using Arabic WordNet (AWN) and Arabic Wikipedia (AWK). First, we extract AWN’s instantiable nouns and identify the corresponding categories and hyponym subcategories in AWK. Then, we exploit Wikipedia inter-lingual links to locate correspondences between articles in ten d...

Automatic Creation of Arabic Named Entity Annotated Corpus Using Wikipedia

In this paper we propose a new methodology to exploit Wikipedia features and structure to automatically develop an Arabic NE annotated corpus. Each Wikipedia link is transformed into an NE type of the target article in order to produce the NE annotation. Other Wikipedia features namely redirects, anchor texts, and inter-language links are used to tag additional NEs, which appear without links i...

Wordnet creation and extension made simple: A multilingual lexicon-based approach using wiki resources

In this paper, we propose a simple methodology for building or extending wordnets using easily extractible lexical knowledge from Wiktionary and Wikipedia. This method relies on a large multilingual translation/synonym graph in many languages as well as synset-aligned wordnets. It guesses frequent and polysemous literals that are difficult to find using other methods by looking at back-translat...
