Sense tagged corpora play a crucial role in Natural Language Processing, particularly in Word Sense Disambiguation and Natural Language Understanding. Since semantic annotations are usually performed by humans, such corpora are limited to a handful of tagged texts and are not available for many languages with scarce resources including Persian. The shortage of efficient, reliable linguistic res...

Ibn Sina is regarded as one of the greatest physicians, thinkers and medical scholars in the history of medicine. Ibn Sina, a Persian scholar in the medieval era, wrote a famous book of medicine, the Canon of Medicine. The book was adopted as the main textbook of medicine in most Western and Persian universities. In the present critique, we analyzed the functional and anatomic descriptions of t...

Stemmers are softwares that find syntactic` roots of the words. They play an important role in natural language processing and other fields such as information retrieval (IR). In IR using stemmed words instead of the original words, could increase as much as 15 percent to the overall performance. In this paper, we report on the development of the first Persian stemmer (Bon). Bon is tested on a ...

Most data on the Web is in the form of text or image. Finding desired data on the Web in a timely and cost-effective way is a problem of wide interest. In the last several years, many search engines have been created to help Web users find desired information. In this paper we present a new technique to eliminate the affixes and their effects on recognizing similar Persian documents. Reviewing ...

This article reports an exploratory evaluation of the output quality of two prevalent English-Persian Machine Translation programs. The purpose of the research is to find out which program produces relatively better output, and what major linguistic bottlenecks MT programs will encounter in their processing of texts. Criteria were established in light of structural theories to solve the MT outp...

Semantic lexicons and lexical ontologies are some major resources in natural language processing. Developing such resources are time consuming tasks for which some automatic methods are proposed. This paper describes some methods used in semi-automatic development of FarsNet; a lexical ontology for the Persian language. FarsNet includes the Persian WordNet with more than 10000 synsets of nouns,...

This article studies different aspects of a new approach to word sense disambiguation using statistical information gained from a monolingual corpus of the target language. Here, the source language is English and the target is Persian, and the disambiguation method can be directly applied in the system of English-to-Persian machine translation for solving lexical ambiguity problems in this sys...

In order to reconstruct the contents of the most famous work of Mani, Living Gospel (written originally in Syriac), we have to use the Arabic and Classical New Persian texts containing accounts and even indirect quotations of this book. One of the most remarkable points in these accounts is that they clearly show that an important part of the Living Gospel contains the Manicha...
