This article reports an exploratory evaluation of the output quality of two prevalent English-Persian Machine Translation programs. The purpose of the research is to find out which program produces relatively better output, and what major linguistic bottlenecks MT programs will encounter in their processing of texts. Criteria were established in light of structural theories to solve the MT outp...

How do people conceptualize motion events and talk about them? The current study examines how gestural representations of motion events arise from linguistic expressions in Persian, which has characteristics of both Talmy’s satelliteand verb-framed languages. We examined native Persian speakers’ speech and gestures in describing 20 motion events. We focused on two motion event components: path ...

(Abstract) Text processing is one of the sub-branches of natural language processing. Recently, the use of machine learning and neural networks methods has been given greater consideration. For this reason, the representation of words has become very important. This article is about word representation or converting words into vectors in Persian text. In this research GloVe, CBOW and skip-gram ...

pardaz is technique of employing points or small dots of colour to creat the maximum colour intensity. in other word, it is type of intaglio engaraving in which groups of dots and lines are used to build up tonal effects. it conveys dual interest in intensifying the effect of colour and light. this was a lengthy process requiring great skill and colour impressions were usually double the price ...

The Persian language is one of the dominant languages in the Middle East, so there are significant amount of Persian documents available on the Web. Due to the special and different nature of the Persian language compared to other languages like English, the design of information retrieval systems in Persian requires special considerations. However, there are relatively few studies on retrieval...

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...

Following Swales’s  (1981)  works  on  genre  analysis,  studies  on  different  sections  of  Research Articles  (RAs)  in  various  languages  and  fields  abound;  however,  only  scant  attention  has  been directed toward abstracts written in Persian, and in the field of literature. Moreover, claims made by Lores (2004) regarding the correspondence of two types of abstracts with different ...
