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...

This paper introduces, motivates, and illustrates a new approach to the model-ing of lexicon base. This lexicon is used in the process of scene generation, described in terms of sentences in Persian. The lexicon base is rich enough to handle scene expressions. It contains not only case frame information, but also it helps to determine the following (a) meaning of spatial propositions; (b) the p...

A novel technique is introduced for verb and inflection detection in Persian texts.

The success of well-designed SMT systems has made this approach one of the most popular MT approaches. However, MT output is often seriously grammatically incorrect. This is more prevalent in SMT since this approach is not language-specific...
