Currently there are lots of plagiarism detection approaches. But few of them implemented and adapted for Persian languages. In this paper, our work on designing and implementation of a plagiarism detection system based on preprocessing and NLP technics will be described. And the results of testing on a corpus will be presented. Keywords— External Plagiarism, Plagiarism, Copy detection, natural ...

The task of text alignment corpus construction at PAN 2015 competition consists of preparing a plagiarism corpus so that it can provide various obfuscation types and versatile obfuscation degrees. Meanwhile, its format and metadata structure should follow previous PAN plagiarism corpora. In this paper, we describe our approach for construction of a monolingual Persian plagiarism corpus that can...

Persian music has had a profound effect on various Eastern musical cultures, and also influenced Southern European and Northern African music. The Santur, a hammered dulcimer, is one of the most important instruments in Persia. In this paper, Persian music and the Santur instrument are explained and analysed. Techniques for fundamental frequency detection are applied to data acquired from the S...

Small acoustic differences in duration, intensity and vowel formants were found between initial and final accented target words in Persian, by the side of substantial differences in f0. On the basis of these data and the results of a perception experiment in which an f0 continuum was superimposed on a single source utterance, we conclude that Persian has a Japanese-style pitch accent, not an En...

Complex predicates, or compound verbs, constitute a major portion of verbal forms in the Persian language. They are normally formed using a noun, adjective, preposition, or prepositional phrase, followed by a light verb. Unlike many other languages that employ such constructions, Persian allows the two components to become separated. This paper will investigate where complex predicates syntacti...

THE history of the practice of medicine in Persia has been widely studied. Everybody knows at least by name the great clinicians Avicenna, Rhazes, and Haly Abbas. Even a few who lived after the Mongol Invasion are not unknown. The story of surgery in these regions is also better known now than it was thanks to a magnificent reproduction with miniatures in colour of Sharaf-ul-Din's translation o...

This report describes the Shiraz project MT prototype for a Persian to English machine translation system using typed feature structures and unification. An overview of the linguistic properties of Persian is presented and the morphological and syntactic grammars developed within the Shiraz project are discussed. The underlying model for the system is a layered chart, capable of representing he...

This paper discusses a methodology for handwritten character recognition applying feature subset selection to reduce number of features. Its novelty lies in the use of a genetic algorithm for the preparation of input data for a support vector machine which is employed to recognize the handwritten Persian digits in particular. Comprehensive experiments on handwritten Persian digits demonstrate t...
