Automatic Extraction of Arabic Multiword Expressions

چکیده
In this paper we investigate the automatic acquisition of Arabic Multiword Expressions (MWE). We propose three complementary approaches to extract MWEs from available data resources. The first approach relies on the correspondence asymmetries between Arabic Wikipedia titles and titles in 21 different languages. The second approach collects English MWEs from Princeton WordNet 3.0, translates the collection into Arabic using Google Translate, and utilizes different search engines to validate the output. The third uses lexical association measures to extract MWEs from a large unannotated corpus. We experimentally explore the feasibility of each approach and measure the quality and coverage of the output against gold standards.

Unsupervised Construction of a Lexicon and a Repository of Variation Patterns for Arabic Modal Multiword Expressions
We present an unsupervised approach to build a lexicon of Arabic Modal Multiword Expressions (AM-MWEs) and a repository of their variation patterns. These novel resources are likely to boost the automatic identification and extraction of AM-MWEs.

Multiword Expressions are idiosyncratic word usages of a language which often have noncompositional meaning. The knowledge of multiword expressions is necessary for many NLP tasks like, machine translation, natural language generation, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis etc. In order for other NLP applications to benefit from the knowledge of multiword expressions, they need to be ide...

We introduce a list of Arabic multiword expressions (MWE) collected from various dictionaries. The MWEs are grouped based on their syntactic type. Every constituent word in the expressions is manually annotated with its full context-sensitive morphological analysis. Some of the expressions contain semantic variables as place holders for words that play the same semantic role. In addition, we ha...
متن کاملAutomatic Extraction of Fixed Multiword Expressions
Fixed multiword expressions are strings of words which together behave like a single word. This research establishes a method for the automatic extraction of such expressions. Our method involves three stages. In the first, a statistical measure is used to extract candidate bigrams. In the second, we use this list to select occurrences of candidate expressions in a corpus, together with their s...
متن کاملIntegration of Reduplicated Multiword Expressions and Named Entities in a Phrase Based Statistical Machine Translation System
The language specific Multiword expressions (MWEs) play important roles in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Integrating reduplicated multiword expressions (RMWEs) into the Phrase Based Statistical Machine Translation (PBSMT) to improve translation quality is reported in the present work between Manipuri, a highly agglutinative Tibeto-Burman language and English. In addition, Multiw...
