Swedish has – like other Germanic languages – flexible stress placement, which underlies morphological rules and is also based on the individual word’s origin. The achievement of the correct usage when learning Swedish is challenging. As second language learners of Swedish in the classrooms present speakers of a variety of first languages (L1s), the opportunity has been taken to have a closer l...

BACKGROUND During the past few years, there has been an increasing recognition that Internet is playing a significant role in the synthesis, the distribution and the consumption of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS).The aim of this study was to assess the online availability of NPS in Persian language websites. METHODS The Google search engine was used to carry out an accurate qualitative as...

This paper describes the participation of the University of Neuchâtel to the CLEF 2008 evaluation campaign. In the Persian ad hoc task, we suggest using a light suffixstripping algorithm for the Farsi language and the evaluations demonstrated that such an approach performs better than a simple light stemmer, an approach ignoring the stemming stage or a language independent approach (n-gram). Th...

In this paper,we report on our ongoing research for the development of a Unicode-based search engine for Farsi. The activities consist of an I/O subsystem, Farsi stemmer, test collection preparation, and the search engine itself. This engine is intended to be independent of the operating system platform using no special hardware or software. Weare further planning to tune the system for other l...

Handwritten character recognition is one of the focused areas of research in the field of Pattern Recognition. In this paper, a hybrid model of rough neural network has been developed for recognizing isolated Arabic/Farsi digital characters. It solves the neural network problems; proneness to overfitting, and the empirical nature of model development using rough sets and the dissimilarity analy...

Writer identification recently has been studied and it has a wide variety of applications. Most studies are based on English documents with the assumption that the written text is fixed (text-dependent methods) and no research has been reported on Farsi or Arabic documents. In this paper, we have proposed a method for off-line writer identification based on Farsi handwriting, which is text-inde...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to study the cultural structure of Farsi-speaking parents' ratings with diagnostic definitions of ADHD. METHOD The children with ADHD and their parents were interviewed. The parents rated their children on the Farsi-speaking parents' ADHD rating questionnaire. RESULTS The principal components analysis extracted the two factors of inattention and hyperactivity- im...

In this paper we proposed a new method for isolated handwritten Farsi/Arabic characters and numerals recognition using fractal codes. Fractal codes represent affine transformations which when iteratively applied to the range-domain pairs in an arbitrary initial image, the result is close to the given image. Each fractal code consists of six parameters such as corresponding domain coordinates fo...
