This paper describes our participation to the Persian ad hoc search during the CLEF 2009 evaluation campaign. In this task, we suggest using a light suffix-stripping algorithm for the Farsi (or Persian) language. The evaluations based on different probabilistic models demonstrated that our stemming approach performs better than a stemmer removing only the plural suffixes, or statistically bette...

Persian with its about 100,000,000 speakers in the world belongs to the group of languages with less developed linguistically annotated resources and tools. The few existing resources and tools are neither open source nor freely available. Thus, our goal is to develop open source resources such as corpora and treebanks, and tools for data-driven linguistic analysis of Persian. We do this by exp...

Stemmers have many applications in natural language processing and some fields such as information retrieval. Many algorithms have been proposed for stemming. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for Persian language. Our algorithm is a bottom up algorithm that is capable to reorganize without changing the implementation. Our experiments show that the proposed algorithm has a suitable resu...

There are several texts pertaining to Perisian painting which explain its aesthetics on the basis of mysticism and the notion of imaginal world. This point of view bears some methodological problems. Some of the prominent scholars (Corbin, Burckhardt, Nasr, Ringgenberg et al.) refering to Ibn ‘Arabi’s mystical notions, have tried to show that the specific aesthetics o...
