Oxford Elbow Score (OES) is a patient-reported questionnaire used to assess outcomes after elbow surgery. The aim of this study was to validate and adapt the OES into Persian language. After forward-backward translation of the OES into Persian, a total number of 92 patients after elbow surgeries completed the Persian OES along with the Persian DASH and SF-36. To assess test-retest reliability, ...

BACKGROUND Considering the difficulties in diagnosing bipolar disorder in clinical practice and lack of needed screening instruments in Persian language, the present study aimed at assessing sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for the Persian Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale. METHODS The study was conducted in a university-affiliated hospital in Tehran, Iran, in a sample of 181 c...

Sorting Persian strings is a common challenge for many users that develop web-based database applications. This issue occurs more frequently while using Persian data. To the best of our knowledge almost many versions of several DBMS do not support Persian strings sorting properly. In this paper we present a Java pattern for solving this issue. Our object-oriented solution consists of three clas...

BACKGROUND During the past few years, there has been an increasing recognition that Internet is playing a significant role in the synthesis, the distribution and the consumption of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS).The aim of this study was to assess the online availability of NPS in Persian language websites. METHODS The Google search engine was used to carry out an accurate qualitative as...

In this paper we propose a summarization approach, nicknamed AZOM, that combines statistical and conceptual property of text and in regards of document structure, extracts the summary of text. AZOM is also capable of summarizing unstructured documents. Proposed approach is localized for Persian language but easily can apply to other languages. The empirical results show comparatively superior r...

In this paper we present an introduction to the Persian language and its morphology, and describe available resources for Persian text processing. We then propose and evaluate an information retrieval model, a variation of the vector space model which uses the relations existing between query terms. Our experiments on the Hamshahri collection show that the proposed model has better precision fo...

This paper offers a transcription system for Persian, the target language in the Transonics project, a speech-to-speech translation system developed as a part of the DARPA Babylon program (The DARPA Babylon Program; Narayanan, 2003). In this paper, we discuss transcription systems needed for automated spoken language processing applications in Persian that uses the Arabic script for writing. Th...

In this paper we introduce an unsupervised learning approach for WordNet construction. The whole construction method is an Expectation Maximization (EM) approach which uses Princeton WordNet 3.0 (PWN) and a corpus as the data source for unsupervised learning. The proposed method can be used to construct WordNet in any language. Links between PWN synsets and target language words are extracted u...

Natural language inference (NLI) is known as one of the central tasks in natural processing (NLP) which encapsulates many fundamental aspects understanding. With considerable achievements data-hungry deep learning methods NLP tasks, a great amount effort has been devoted to develop more diverse datasets for different languages. In this paper, we present new dataset NLI task Persian language, al...
