Producing a Persian Text Tokenizer Corpus Focusing on Its Computational Linguistics Considerations

Text analysis meets corpus linguistics

In recent years, there has been rising interest to using evidence derived from automatic syntactic analysis in large-scale corpus studies. Ideally, of course, corpus linguists would prefer to have access to the wealth of structural and featural information provided by a full parser based on a complex grammar formalism. However, to date such parsers achieve neither the speed nor the robustness n...

A Text Alignment Corpus for Persian Plagiarism Detection

This paper describes how a Persian text alignment corpus was constructed to evaluate plagiarism detection systems. This corpus is in PAN format and contains 11,089 documents and more than 11,603 plagiarism cases. Efforts were made to simulate various types of plagiarism manually, semi-automatically, or automatically in this large-scale corpus.

Text Based Interactive Fiction and Computational Linguistics

Interactive ction (IF) or text adventures are text-based computer games. After a short introduction I will explain some details of an IF authoring system. As an illustration I will give an outline of my own project. I will conclude by discussing some scientiic attempts to improve the genre using theories of artiicial intelligence and computational linguistics. 1 What is interactive ction (IF) ?...

Components of Linguistics in Learning Disabilities Focusing on Reading Disorder

Background: The most common and significant learning disabilities include reading disorders. Reading is the foundation for all other learning, and children with weak reading skills are more vulnerable learners through their education and future, thereby failed to show significant progress in academic learning outcomes. Conclusion: Reading covers a language learning system and it is a subset of...

The Future of Text-Meaning in Computational Linguistics

Writer-based and reader-based views of text-meaning are reflected by the respective questions “What is the author trying to tell me?” and “What does this text mean to me personally?” Contemporary computational linguistics, however, generally takes neither view. But this is not adequate for the development of sophisticated applications such as intelligence gathering and question answering. I dis...
