In this paper we propose a summarization approach, nicknamed AZOM, that combines statistical and conceptual property of text and in regards of document structure, extracts the summary of text. AZOM is also capable of summarizing unstructured documents. Proposed approach is localized for Persian language but easily can apply to other languages. The empirical results show comparatively superior r...

In this paper we present an introduction to the Persian language and its morphology, and describe available resources for Persian text processing. We then propose and evaluate an information retrieval model, a variation of the vector space model which uses the relations existing between query terms. Our experiments on the Hamshahri collection show that the proposed model has better precision fo...

This paper offers a transcription system for Persian, the target language in the Transonics project, a speech-to-speech translation system developed as a part of the DARPA Babylon program (The DARPA Babylon Program; Narayanan, 2003). In this paper, we discuss transcription systems needed for automated spoken language processing applications in Persian that uses the Arabic script for writing. Th...

like sentences, combination of words is the main part of syntax in persian language as well as in russian language and plays an important role in sentence structures of these languages. combination of words in russian language is divided into three categories: verbal combinations, nominal and adverbial combinations. the writers of this article have studied combination of verbs in russian langua...

In this paper we introduce an unsupervised learning approach for WordNet construction. The whole construction method is an Expectation Maximization (EM) approach which uses Princeton WordNet 3.0 (PWN) and a corpus as the data source for unsupervised learning. The proposed method can be used to construct WordNet in any language. Links between PWN synsets and target language words are extracted u...

Natural language inference (NLI) is known as one of the central tasks in natural processing (NLP) which encapsulates many fundamental aspects understanding. With considerable achievements data-hungry deep learning methods NLP tasks, a great amount effort has been devoted to develop more diverse datasets for different languages. In this paper, we present new dataset NLI task Persian language, al...

One of the main tasks related to multiword expressions (MWEs) is compound verb identification. There have been so many works on unsupervised identification of multiword verbs in many languages, but there has not been any conspicuous work on Persian language yet. Persian multiword verbs (known as compound verbs), are a kind of light verb construction (LVC) that have syntactic flexibility such as...

The interest in text to speech synthesis increased in the world . text to speech have been developed for many popular languages such as English, Spanish and French and many researches and developments have been applied to those languages. Persian on the other hand, has been given little attention compared to other languages of similar importance and the research in Persian is still in its infan...
