In this paper,we report on our ongoing research for the development of a Unicode-based search engine for Farsi. The activities consist of an I/O subsystem, Farsi stemmer, test collection preparation, and the search engine itself. This engine is intended to be independent of the operating system platform using no special hardware or software. Weare further planning to tune the system for other l...

Handwritten character recognition is one of the focused areas of research in the field of Pattern Recognition. In this paper, a hybrid model of rough neural network has been developed for recognizing isolated Arabic/Farsi digital characters. It solves the neural network problems; proneness to overfitting, and the empirical nature of model development using rough sets and the dissimilarity analy...

Writer identification recently has been studied and it has a wide variety of applications. Most studies are based on English documents with the assumption that the written text is fixed (text-dependent methods) and no research has been reported on Farsi or Arabic documents. In this paper, we have proposed a method for off-line writer identification based on Farsi handwriting, which is text-inde...

The present study aims at the description and analysis of the phonological and lexical development of a child who is acquiring Farsi as his first language. The child's language production at the holophrastic stage of language development, mainly single words, is observed and recorded longitudinally for nearly seven months since he was 16 months old until he turned 23 months. An attempt is made ...

This paper describes Farsi word sense disambiguation in unrestricted text using decision list. Decision list is a rule based algorithm which searches for discriminatory features in the training data and extracts a set of rules. These rules are used for disambiguation of word senses. Since this method is a supervised corpus based method, it needs a Farsi sense-tagged corpus. In this paper, we us...

Pregnancy adds many sources of concerns to women's daily life worries. Excessive worry can affect maternal physiological and psychological state that influences the pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this study was to validate the Cambridge Worry Scale (CWS) in a sample of Iranian pregnant women. After translation of the CWS, ten experts evaluated the items and added six items to the 17-item scale....
