Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) in the domain of language learning are becoming very common. Software engineering best practices and frameworks should be used to ease the process of developing new intelligent tutoring systems. In this research, we show how a Pattern language for intelligent tutoring systems (PLITS) was used to develop modules of the Arabic Tutor. The Arabic tutor is a web-ba...

Persian is one of the Indo-European languages which has borrowed its script from Arabic, a member of Semitic language family. Since Persian and Arabic scripts are so similar, problems arise when we want to process an electronic text. In this paper, some of the common problems faced experimentally in developing a corpus for Persian are discussed. The sources of the problems are the Persian scrip...

Computational Morphology is an urgent problem for Arabic Natural Language Processing, because Arabic is a highly inflected language. We have found, however, that a full solution to this problem is not required for effective information retrieval. Light stemming allows remarkably good information retrieval without providing correct morphological analyses. We developed several light stemmers for ...

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 ...

When text is translated from one language into another, sentiment is preserved to varying degrees. In this paper, we use Arabic social media posts as stand-in for source language text, and determine loss in sentiment predictability when they are translated into English, manually and automatically. As benchmarks, we use manually and automatically determined sentiment labels of the Arabic texts. ...

This work introduces the notion of a computational resource for organizing knowledge developed for natural language realization, the Upper Model. The generalized upper model has been implemented mainly for Latin languages. Would such model be able to support Arabic with minor modifications? A limited number of areas where Arabic and English grammars differ are listed to display possible areas w...

Language features and cultural factors play key roles in the difficulties associated with dyslexia. Thus, addressing the combination of these elements is essential to obtain better coverage of dyslexia issues and a deeper understanding of the needs of Arabic speakers with dyslexia. There is a great deal of progress yet to be achieved in the area of Arabic dyslexia, as little is published about ...
