Description

Since the introduction of computers to the Arab world, the computational processing of the Arabic language has topped the list of contemporary issues occupying the minds of researchers and scholars in both computer science and linguistics. Some of the most important applications include automatic recognition of spoken, written, and printed language, and direct interaction with humans via speech and text.

Session Topic: The session will be presented by two lecturers. Dr. Michel Bakhni will discuss the different levels of linguistic analysis from a technical perspective, including morphological, syntactic, semantic, and lexical analysis. He will provide practical examples such as automatic speech recognition, machine translation, and artificial intelligence, and will highlight a range of challenges facing researchers in the computational processing of the Arabic language.

Dr. Yahya Mir Alam will focus on the computational processing of Arabic linguistic sciences, including morphology, grammar, writing rules, semantics, and computational lexicons. He will present examples of statistical data on Arabic language roots, verbs, patterns, and oral sources, and their applications in computational dictionaries and morphological, syntactic, and semantic analyzers. Additionally, he will cover error correction in its various forms: linguistic, spelling, grammatical, morphological, and stylistic, as well as the development of scientific terminologies.
