Morphological analysis is of fundamental interest in computational linguistics and language processing. While there are established morphological analyzers for mostly Western and a few other languages using localized interfaces, the same cannot be said for Indic and other less-studied languages for which language processing is just beginning. There are three primary obstacles to computational m...

crisis due to global warming and its associated damaging consequences, including salinity, it is essential to develop plant resistance to salinity level. in this study, an experiment was conducted using different levels of salinity (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2% sodium chloride) had on rosa hybrida, as the most important cut flowers in the world. results showed that by increasing of salinity, sodium...

A new method for face recognition using profile gray-level images based on the morphological signature transform (MST) is presented in this paper. Gray-level image of profile is thresholded to produce a binary, black and white image. The method is based on the successive morphological erosions of the input profile at different resolutions by primary and rotated structuring elements. The areas o...

Retrieval in many languages would benefit from languagespecific processing, such as stemming or morphological analysis. However, many languages lack such processing tools, or they may be inadequate for retrieval due to language evolution. In this paper, we explore the use of Wikipedia redirects to automatically learn morphological equivalence patterns. Character-level alignment of automatically...

Due to Arabic’s morphological complexity, Arabic retrieval benefits greatly from morphological analysis – particularly stemming. However, the best known stemming does not handle linguistic phenomena such as broken plurals and malformed stems. In this paper we propose a model of character-level morphological transformation that is trained using Wikipedia hypertext to page title links. The use of...

The phylogenetic relationships of the Comesomatidae have remained unresolved at the family level because they have diagnostic morphological features of both the Monhysterida and the Chromadorida. A comparison of the partial sequence of 18S rDNA from representative taxa of Comesomatidae and of morphological data, analyzed in conjunction with molecular and morphological data from monhysterids and...

Languages with rich morphology often introduce sparsity in language processing tasks. While morphological analyzers can reduce this sparsity by providing morpheme-level analyses for words, they will often introduce ambiguity by returning multiple analyses for the same surface form. The problem of disambiguating between these morphological parses is further complicated by the fact that a correct...

iran, with a long history of apricot cultivation is one of the most important apricot producers in the world. centuries of sexual reproduction via seed, have developed many divergent variations of apricots in iran. however, unfortunately there is no comprehensive report available concerning its diversity and genetic make-up. in this study, 39 iranian apricot cultivars as well as accessions, nat...
