The present research is a descriptive corpus-based translation study aiming at pinpointing the patterns of translation into Persian when dealing with English Verb Phrase Ellipsis (VPE). After scrutiny of the strategies applied by Persian translators some regular patterns were drawn, with the exception that the observed translation behavior may be taken as advantageous information for improving ...

Automatic Character Recognition has wide variety of applications such as automatic postal mail sorting, number plate recognition and automatic form of reader and entering text from PDA's etc. Cursive script’s Automatic Character Recognition is a complex process facing unique issues unlike other scripts. Many solutions have been proposed in the literature to solve complexities of cursive scripts...

Nowadays, many daily human activities such as education, trade, talks, etc are done by using the Internet. In such things as registration on Internet web sites, hackers write programs to make automatic false registration that waste the resources of the web sites while it may also stop it from functioning. Therefore, human users should be distinguished from computer programs. To this end, this p...

One of the most major and essential tasks in natural language processing is machine translation that is now highly dependent upon multilingual parallel corpora. Through this paper, we introduce the biggest Persian-English parallel corpus with more than one million sentence pairs collected from masterpieces of literature. We also present acquisition process and statistics of the corpus, and expe...

Nowadays, Wordnet is used in natural language processing as one of the major linguistic resources. Having such a resource for Persian language helps researchers in computational linguistics and natural language processing fields to develop more accurate systems with higher performances. In this research, we propose a model for semi-automatic construction of Persian wordnet of verbs. Compound ve...

We use Pregroups to provide an algebraic analysis of Persian sentences. Our analysis hints to some of the profound and subtle properties of the Persian grammar, e.g. similarity of its parsing patterns to Hindi (both descendants of of Sanskrit) and similarity in parsing patterns of its causal subordinate and relative sentences. These findings are facilitated by the use of reduction diagrams, a f...

In statistical machine translation, data sparsity is a challenging problem especially for languages with rich morphology and inconsistent orthography, such as Persian. We show that orthographic preprocessing and morphological segmentation of Persian verbs in particular improves the translation quality of Persian-English by 1.9 BLEU points on a blind test set.
