Human Language Technology has played a big role in implementing Latin based information retrieval... more Human Language Technology has played a big role in implementing Latin based information retrieval systems. Two of the most sited techniques are stemming and truncation. Numerous studies have showed that the inflectional structure of words has a big impact on the retrieval accuracy of Latin-based languages information retrieval systems (IRS). Stemming or truncation is done for two principal reasons: the reduction in index storage required and the increase in performance due to the use of word variants. Several stemming algorithms were proposed for stemming text such as Porter for English. While these studies were concerned with Latin-based languages, only few studies give attention to the Arabic language. This paper we present a study of the Arabic language characteristics that can be useful to integrate in an information retrieval system and the kind of stemming techniques that can be used for the Arabic language. We used the.ae domain as a case study. We present some characteristic...

Even though the first Arabic dictionary was developed almost 1500 years ago, the state of the art in Arabic dictionaries has not made much progress and falls far behind dictionaries for other languages. We propose a framework for building dictionaries that are game-like in their level of interactivity, and thus provide an immersive environment for children to enthusiastically explore more concepts, images, and vocabulary.

The results are very encouraging and demonstrate that tools such as CM-Builder have the potential to play an important role in the software development process.

However, these tools do not contribute to the initial, difficult stage of the analysis process, that of identifying the object classes, attributes and relationships used to model the problem domain. This paper describes an NL-Based CASE tool called Class Model Builder (CM-Builder) which aims at supporting this aspect of the Analysis stage of software development in an Object-Oriented framework. CM-Builder uses robust Natural Language Processing techniques to analyse software requirements texts written in English and constructs, either automatically or interactively with an analyst, an initial UML Class Model representing the object classes mentioned in the text and the relationships among them. The initial model can be directly input to a graphical CASE tool for further refinement by a human analyst. CM-Builder has been quantitatively evaluated in blind trials against a collection of unseen software requirements texts and we present the results of this evaluation, together with the evaluation method. The results are very encouraging and demonstrate that tools such as CM-Builder have the potential to play an important role in the software development process.
