Polar Response Particles (PRPs) have been widely studied in the literature, discussing essence of their ambiguity polarity and (dis)agreement reading sys- tems (Pope 1976) what affects preference. In languages like English Farsi, which same particles satisfy both readings, PRPs are ambiguous response to negative initiatives (including questions assertions). on other hand, not only used assertiv...

-A series of experiments is being conducted on the Farsi language in the domain of laws in the university of Tehran. One of the goals of these experiments is to establish the performance of different weighting schemes and retrieval models. For the lack of a Farsi stemmer and some characterisitics of the language, it was decided to experiment with N-grams. With un-stemmed words and 2-grams, 3-gr...

This paper investigates Farsi handwritten word recognition using common features. Also we applied biologically inspired features (BIFs), derived from a feed forward model of object recognition pathway in visual cortex for Farsi handwritten word recognition problem. Experimental results show that the model achieves high recognition percentage even for large variations and applicability of these ...

Arabic script-based languages do not belong to a single language family, and therefore exhibit different linguistic properties. To name just a few: Arabic is primarily a VSO language whereas Farsi is an SVO and Urdu is an SOV language. Both Farsi and Urdu have light verbs whereas Arabic does not. Urdu and Arabic have grammatical gender while Farsi does not. There are, however, linguistic and no...

Low-density languages raise difficulties for standard approaches to natural language processing that depend on large online corpora. Using Persian as a case study, we propose a novel method for bootstrapping MT capability for a low-density language in the case where it relates to a higher density variant. Tajiki Persian is a low-density language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet, while Iranian Pe...
