The development of an efficient compression scheme to process the Arabic language represents a difficult task. This paper employs the dynamic Huffman coding on data compression with variable length bit coding, on the Arabic language. Experimental tests have been performed on both Arabic and English text. A comparison is made to measure the efficiency of compressing data results on both Arabic a...

We present a limited speech translation system for English and colloquial Levantine Arabic, which we are currently developing as part of the DARPA Babylon program. The system is intended for question/answer communication between an English-speaking operator and an Arabic-speaking subject. It uses speech recognition to convert a spoken English question into text, and plays out a pre-recorded spe...

Building a system to extract Arabic named entities is a complex task due to the ambiguity and structure of Arabic text. Previous approaches that have tackled the problem of Arabic named entity recognition relied heavily on Arabic parsers and taggers combined with a huge set of gazetteers and sometimes large training sets to solve the ambiguity problem. But while these approaches are applicable ...

In this paper we have presented a brief current state of the Art for Arabic text representation and classification methods. First we describe some algorithms applied to classification on Arabic text. Secondly, we cite all major works when comparing classification algorithms applied on Arabic text, after this, we mention some authors who proposing new classification methods and finally we invest...

Text readability refers to the ability of the reader to understand and comprehend a given text. In this research, we present our approach to develop an automatic readability index for the Arabic language: Automatic Arabic Readability Index (AARI), using factor analysis. Our results are based on more than 1196 Arabic texts extracted from the Jordanian curriculum in the subjects of: Arabic langua...

This paper presents a novel holistic technique for classifying Arabic handwritten text documents. The classification of Arabic handwritten documents is performed in several steps. First, the Arabic handwritten document images are segmented into words, and then each word is segmented into its connected parts. Second, several structural and statistical features are extracted from these connected ...

Morphological analyzers and part-of-speech taggers are key technologies for most text analysis applications. Our aim is to develop a part-of-speech tagger for annotating a wide range of Arabic text formats, domains and genres including both vowelized and non-vowelized text. Enriching the text with linguistic analysis will maximize the potential for corpus re-use in a wide range of applications....

Arabic Text categorization is considered one of the severe problems in classification using machine learning algorithms. Achieving high accuracy in Arabic text categorization depends on the preprocessing techniques used to prepare the data set. Thus, in this paper, an investigation of the impact of the preprocessing methods concerning the performance of three machine learning algorithms, namely...

Social media allows people interact to express their thoughts or feelings about different subjects. However, some of users may write offensive twits to other via social media which known as cyber bullying. Successful prevention depends on automatically detecting malicious messages. Automatic detection of bullying in the text of social media by analyzing the text "twits" via one of the machine l...

Representing Arabic Text semantically using Rich Semantic Graph (RSG) is one of the recent techniques that facilitate the process of manipulating the Arabic Language in Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. The work presented in this paper is a part of an ongoing research to create an abstractive summary for a single input document in Arabic Language. The abstractive summary is generated thr...
