In this paper, we describe techniques for improving machine translation quality in the context of speech-to-speech translation for significantly different language pairs. Specifically, we explore three broad approaches for improving translation from English to Iraqi and vice versa. First, we investigate normalization techniques which address the differences in spoken and written forms of both l...

In this work, the creation of a large-scale Arabic to French statistical machine translation system is presented. We introduce all necessary steps from corpus aquisition, preprocessing the data to training and optimizing the system and eventual evaluation. Since no corpora existed previously, we collected large amounts of data from the web. Arabic word segmentation was crucial to reduce the ove...

In this paper, we investigate different methodologies of Arabic segmentation for statistical machine translation by comparing a rule-based segmenter to different statistically-based segmenters. We also present a new method for segmentation that serves the need for a real-time translation system without impairing the translation accuracy.

we examined the psychometric properties of the arabic version of the obsessive compulsive beliefs questionnaire-44 (obq-44) in a sample of kuwait university students. this questionnaire was developed by the obsessive compulsive cognitions working group in order to assess belief domains believed to be crucial in the development of obsessive compulsive symptoms.the arabic version of the obq-44 wa...

about 11 centuries after its emergence, aristotle's organon was translated into arabic; and, based on such translations, scholars such as farabi and ibn sina created logical works in the islamic world. because of these works, logic emerged and flourished among muslims. through analysis and evaluation of the first translations of organon, we may get familiar with, on the one hand, attention...

In this paper, we describe a web-based multilingual tool for Arabic information retrieval based on ontology in the legal domain. We illustrate the manual construction of the ontology and the way it is edited using Protégé2000. Using Arabic (UN) documents we identify the legal terms and the semantic relations between them before mapping them onto their position in the ontology. The process of se...

The need for translation, which is an important bridge in intercultural communication, increasing day by day. In recent years, because of the development economic, political, and cultural relations with countries whose official language Arabic, interest Arabic translation has increased. this context, Translation Interpretation departments have been opened at universities. these departments, cou...

Morphological analysis is an essential stage in language engineering applications. For the Arabic language, this stage is not easy to develop because the Arabic language has some particularities such as the phenomena of agglutination and a lot of morphological ambiguity phenomenon. These reasons make the design of the morphological analyzer for Arabic somewhat difficult and require lots of othe...

BACKGROUND Patients with schizophrenia are known to have higher rates of mortality and morbidity when compared to the general population. Suicidality is a major contributor to increased mortality. The International Suicide Prevention Trial (InterSePT) Scale for Suicidal Thinking (ISST) is a validated tool to assess current suicidal ideation in patients with schizophrenia. The aims of the study ...

This paper attempts to compare between the advancements in the productivity of Arabic into English Machine Translation Systems between two years, 2008 and 2013. It also aims to evaluate the progress achieved by various systems of Arabic into English electronic translation between the two years. For tracing such advancement, a comparative analysis of translated texts taken from previous studies ...
