As a part of multi-media support system for Arabic e-learning, some vehicle should be provided for training students to pronounce Arabic text themselves. Since the Arabic alphabet is phonetic, it seems a good idea to transliterate Arabic into Roman, the most popular language, but there exists a big gap between Arabic and Roman besides a difference between their alphabets; scripting directions. ...

We demonstrate the feasibility of using unsupervised morphological segmentation for dialects of Arabic, which are poor in linguistics resources. Our experiments using a Qatari Arabic to English machine translation system show that unsupervised segmentation helps to improve the translation quality as compared to using no segmentation or to using ATB segmentation, which was especially designed fo...

Gum Arabic, a natural polysaccharide derived from exudates of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees, is a commonly used food hydrocolloid. The highlight of this study was to review the utilization of gum Arabic for industries and human health. Gum Arabic has a unique combination of excellent emulsifying properties and low solution viscosity. These properties make gum Arabic very useful in sever...

Text mining techniques confront many challenges when dealing with the Arabic language including lexical disambiguation because Arabic is a highly inflectional and derivational language, most of the Arabic texts are devoid of diacritics especially Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), thus, it is a must to depend on the ambiguous word context under study. Two fuzzy logic classifiers have been built and ...

English translations of texts associated with Arabic fiction remain largely unexplored from a sociological perspective. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology, this paper aims to examine the genesis of Arabic fiction translation into English as a socially situated activity. Works of Arabic fiction emerged in English translation in the early twentieth century. Since then, this intellectual field...

We address the problem of Part of Speech tagging (POS) in the context of linguistic code switching (CS). CS is the phenomenon where a speaker switches between two languages or variants of the same language within or across utterances, known as intra-sentential or inter-sentential CS, respectively. Processing CS data is especially challenging in intrasentential data given state of the art monoli...

Automatic Text Summarization has received a great deal of attention in the past couple of decades. It has gained a lot of interest especially with the proliferation of the Internet and the new technologies. Arabic as a language still lacks research in the field of Information Retrieval. In this paper, we explore lexical cohesion using lexical chains for an extractive summarization system for Ar...

Arabic script character recognition is challenging task due to complexity of the script and huge number of ligatures. We present a method for the development of multilingual Arabic script OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and lexicon reduction for Arabic Script and its derivative languages. The objective of the proposed method is to overcome the large dataset Urdu and similar scripts by using...
