We propose a novel algorithm for English to Persian transliteration. Previous methods proposed for this language pair apply a word alignment tool for training. By contrast, we introduce an alignment algorithm particularly designed for transliteration. Our new model improves the English to Persian transliteration accuracy by 14% over an n-gram baseline. We also propose a novel back-transliterati...

emphasizing collective memory and based on bakhtin's idea of the dialogical principle and multi-voice novelistic discourse, as well as considering the idea of the perspectival truth of historical fact, the present paper deals with the capacity of the history-oriented novel genre in introducing multiple perspectives of history. such an emphasize and description can be connected to analyzing...

Automatic transformation of paper documents into electronic documents requires document segmentation at the first stage. However, some parameters restrictions such as variations in character font sizes, different text line spacing, and also not uniform document layout structures altogether have made it difficult to design a general-purpose document layout analysis algorithm for many years. Thus...

The current research aims at exploring and comparing the semantic frames of motion verbs in English Persian. In pursuit this goal, novel Animal farm by G. Orwell (1945) was selected compared with its Persian translation, Qale heyvanat (Atefi, 2010). sentences including were primarily extracted from then a comparison made between each sentence counterpart. Afterwards, obtained FrameNet database....

Bilingual parallel corpora are very important in various filed of natural language processing (NLP). The quality of a Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system strongly dependent upon the amount of training data. For low resource language pairs such as Persian-English, there are not enough parallel sentences to build an accurate SMT system. This paper describes a new approach to use the Wiki...
