the phoneme /l/ is one of the phonemes of persian, which has different origins. a few of which is unknown. this article studies the historical change of /l/ phoneme and phonemes and clusters which are the origins of /l/, from proto indo- european to indo- iranian, old iranian and middle and new persian. in adition, the historical change of other phonems such as group of consonants , which are o...

Note from the Research Highlights Co-Chairs: A paper appearing in Communications is usually peer-reviewed prior to publication. The following unusual that it still under review. However, result has generated enormous excitement research community, and came strongly nominated by SIGACT, a nomination seconded external reviewers. complexity class NP characterizes collection of computational proble...

This paper proposes an innovative approach to improve the classification performance of Persian texts. The proposed method uses a thesaurus as a helpful knowledge to obtain more representative word-frequencies in the corpus. Two types of word relationships are considered in our used thesaurus. This is the first attempt to use a Persian thesaurus in the field of Persian information retrieval. Ex...

In this article, we have introduced the first parallel corpus of Persian with more than 10 other European languages. This article describes primary steps toward preparing a Basic Language Resources Kit (BLARK) for Persian. Up to now, we have proposed morphosyntactic specification of Persian based on EAGLE/MULTEXT guidelines and specific resources of MULTEXT-East. The article introduces Persian ...

This paper will discuss several computational tools for creating a stemma of Avestan manuscripts, such as: a letter similarity matrix, a morphological expander, and co-occurrence networks. After a short introduction to Avestan and Avestan manuscripts and a representation of Avestan peculiarities concerning the creation of stemmata, the operatability of the above-mentioned tools for this text co...

In this paper, the specific trait of Persian signatures is applied to signature verification. Efficient features, which can discriminate among Persian signatures, are investigated in this approach. Persian signatures, in comparison with other languages signatures, have more curvature and end in a specific style. An experiment has been designed to determine the function indicating the most robus...

This paper presents an automated supervised method for Persian wordnet construction. Using a Persian corpus and a bi-lingual dictionary, the initial links between Persian words and Princeton WordNet synsets have been generated. These links will be discriminated later as correct or incorrect by employing seven features in a trained classification system. The whole method is just a classification...
