typographical data entry errors and incomplete documents, produce imperfect records in real world databases. these errors generate distinct records which belong to the same entity. the aim of approximate record matching is to find multiple records which belong to an entity. in this paper, an algorithm for approximate record matching is proposed that can be adapted automatically with input error...

In this paper, an efficient algorithm for automatic outline capture of digital character images is presented. This method is well suited for non-Roman languages like Arabic, Urdu, Persian, etc. Contemporary word processing systems store shapes of the characters in terms of their outlines, and outlines are expressed as cubic Bezier curves. The process of capturing outlines includes steps detecti...

this paper aims at investigating evidentiality in contemporary persian from a typological point of view. first the category of evidentiality and its types in the languages of the world is introduced. gathering and analysing data of spoken and written form of this language as well as classic texts,  an attempt was made to see whether evidentiality exists in this language as a grammatical categor...

the principle of equality of arms means that each party in an action shall present her claim in an environment so that this does not put him in a worse condition compared to the other party of the trial. this principle has been internationally and locally embraced by authorities. from the perspective of international documents, the acceptance of this principle is partly influenced by the accept...

This paper presents a Verilog model of an artificial neural network for Arabic character recognition. A neural network by nature is a non-linear system that presents some unusual challenges when realized in digital domain. A main feature of our proposed model is that it does not require hardware-intensive resources, such as dividers and multipliers. A character recognition accuracy of 80.3% was...

BACKGROUND To test the psychometric properties of the Persian version of Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI-12) in the Iranian population. METHODS After translating and cultural adaptation of the questionnaire into Persian, 100 caregiver spouses of Iran- Iraq war (1980-88) veterans with chronic spinal cord injury who live in the city of Mashhad, Iran, invited to participate in the study. The Persian...

Evidence suggests that in Iwaija, a non-Pama-Nyungan language of northern Australia, the Intonation Phrase (IP) is an integrated entity, one which is typical of a cursus language (Pulgram,1970) like French, in which words in connected speech give up some of the properties they exhibit in isolation. A salient feature of the prosody of this language is syllabification across content word boundari...

the present paper aims to examine the role of frequency lexicon in assessing lexical proficiency of persian learners. addressing the frequency distribution pattern of persian words, the research which is conducted in corpus-based method studies the relationship between words and lexical proficiency as well as derives the frequency lexicon from persian corpus. to do so, formal and colloquial per...
