One of the common processes in the field of text mining is text classification.Because of the complex nature of Farsi language, words with separate parts and combined verbs, the most of text classification systems are not applicable to Farsi texts.K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) is one of the most popular used methods for text classification and presents good performance in experiments on different d...

Entity profiling (EP) as an important task of Web mining and information extraction (IE) is the process of extracting entities in question and their related information from given text resources. From computational viewpoint, the Farsi language is one of the less-studied and less-resourced languages, and suffers from the lack of high quality language processing tools. This problem emphasizes th...

signed digit (sd) number systems provide the possibility of constant-time addition, where inter-digit carry propagation is eliminated. such carry-free addition is primarily a three-step process; adding the equally weighted sds to form the primary sum digits, decomposing the latter to interim sum digits and transfer digits, which commonly belong to {–1, 0, 1}, and finally adding the transfers to...

FARSI HANDWRITTEN WORD RECOGNITION USING CONTINUOUS HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES

This paper describes the University of Edinburgh’s spoken language translation (SLT) and machine translation (MT) systems for the IWSLT 2014 evaluation campaign. In the SLT track, we participated in the German↔English and English→French tasks. In the MT track, we participated in the German↔English, English→French, Arabic↔English, Farsi→English, Hebrew→English, Spanish↔English, and Portuguese-Br...
