Abstract:
Arabic Person Name Recognition has been tackled mostly using either of two approaches: a rule-based or Machine Learning (ML) based approach, with their strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, the problem of Arabic Person Name Recognition is tackled through integrating the two approaches together in a pipelined process to create a hybrid system with the aim of enhancing the overall performance of Person Name Recognition tasks. Extensive experiments are conducted using three different ML classifiers to evaluate the overall performance of the hybrid system. The empirical results indicate that the hybrid approach outperforms both the rule-based and the ML-based approaches. Moreover, our system outperforms the state-of-the-art of Arabic Person Name Recognition in terms of accuracy when applied to ANERcorp dataset, with precision 0.949, recall 0.942 and f-measure 0.945.

Most Arabic Named Entity Recognition (NER) systems have been developed using either of two approaches: a rule-based or Machine Learning (ML) based approach, with their strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, the problem of Arabic NER is tackled through integrating the two approaches together in a pipelined process to create a hybrid system with the aim of enhancing the overall performance of NER tasks. The proposed system is capable of recognizing 11 different types of named entities (NEs): Person, Location, Organization, Date, Time, Price, Measurement, Percent, Phone Number, ISBN and File Name. Extensive experiments are conducted using three different ML classifiers to evaluate the overall performance of the hybrid system. The empirical results indicate that the hybrid approach outperforms both the rule-based and the ML-based approaches. Moreover, our system outperforms the state-of-the-art of Arabic NER in terms of accuracy when applied to ANERcorp dataset, with f-measures 94.4% for Person, 90.1% for Location, and 88.2% for Organization.

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is an essential task for many natural language processing systems, which makes use of various linguistic resources. NER becomes more complicated when the language in use is morphologically rich and structurally complex, such as Arabic. This language has a set of characteristics that makes it particularly challenging to handle. In a previous work, we have proposed an Arabic NER system that follows the hybrid approach, i.e. integrates both rule-based and machine learning-based NER approaches. Our hybrid NER system is the state-of-the-art in Arabic NER according to its performance on standard evaluation datasets. In this article, we discuss a novel methodology for overcoming the coverage drawback of rule-based NER systems in order to improve their performance and allow for automated rule update. The presented mechanism utilizes the recognition decisions made by the hybrid NER system in order to identify the weaknesses of the rule-based component and derive new linguistic rules aiming at enhancing the rule base, which will help in achieving more reliable and accurate results. We used ACE 2004 Newswire standard dataset as a resource for extracting and analyzing new linguistic rules for person, location and organization names recognition. We formulate each new rule based on two distinctive feature groups, i.e. Gazetteers of each type of named entities and Part-of-Speech tags, in particular noun and proper noun. Fourteen new patterns are derived, formulated as grammar rules, and evaluated in terms of coverage. The conducted experiments exploit a POS tagged version of the ACE 2004 NW dataset. The empirical results show that the performance of the enhanced rule-based system, i.e. NERA 2.0, improves the coverage of the previously misclassified person, location and organization named entities types by 69.93 per cent, 57.09 per cent and 54.28 per cent, respectively.

Parts-of-speech tagging is the process of labeling each word in a sentence. A tag mentions the word's usage in the sentence. Usually, these tags indicate syntactic classification like noun or verb, and sometimes include additional information, with case markers (number, gender etc) and tense markers. A large number of current language processing systems use a parts-of-speech tagger for pre-processing. There are mainly two approaches usually followed in Parts of Speech Tagging. Those are Rule based Approach and Stochastic Approach. Rule based Approach use predefined handwritten rules. This is the oldest approach and it use lexicon or dictionary for reference. Stochastic Approach use probabilistic and statistical information to assign tag to words. It use large corpus, so that Time complexity and Space complexity is high whereas Rule base approach has less complexity for both Time and Space. Stochastic Approach is the widely used one nowadays because of its accuracy. Malayalam is a Dravidian family of languages, inflectional with suffixes with the root word forms. The currently used Algorithms are efficient Machine Learning Algorithms but these are not built for Malayalam. So it affects the accuracy of the result of Malayalam POS Tagging. My proposed Approach use Dictionary entries along with adjacent tag information. This algorithm use Multithreaded Technology. Here tagging done with the probability of the occurrence of the sentence structure along with the dictionary entry.

With the advent of social media, the amount of text available for processing across different natural languages has become enormous. In the past few decades, there has been tremendous increase in the number of language processing applications. The tools for natural language computing of various languages are very different because each language has its own set of grammatical rules. This paper focuses on identifying the basic inflectional principles of Tamil language at word level. Three levels of word inflection concepts are considered-Patterns, Rules and Exceptions. How grammatical principles for word inflections in Tamil can be grouped in these three levels and applied for obtaining different word forms is the focus of this paper. These can be made use of in a wide variety of natural language applications like morphological analysis, morphological generation, word level translation, spelling and grammar check, information extraction etc. The tools using these rules will account for faster operation and better implementation of Tamil grammatical rules referred from [த ொல் த ொப் பியம் | tholgaappiyam] and [ நன் னூல் | nannool] in NLP applications.

The tasks that falls under the errands that takes after Natural Language Processing approaches includes Named Entity Recognition, Information Retrieval, Machine Translation, and so on. Wherein Sentiment Analysis utilizes Natural Language Processing as one of the way to locate the subjective content showing negative, positive or impartial (neutral) extremity (polarity). Due to the expanded utilization of online networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Sentiment Analysis has increased colossal statures. Examination of sentiments helps organizations, government and other association to extemporize their items and administration in view of the audits or remarks. This paper introduces an Innovative methodology that investigates the part of lexicalization for Arabic Sentiment examination. The system was put in place with two principles rules– “equivalent to” and “within the text” rules. The outcomes subsequently accomplished with these rules methodology gave 89.6 % accuracy when tried on baseline dataset, and 50.1 % exactness on OCA, the second dataset. A further examination shows 19.5 % in system1 increase in accuracy when compared with baseline dataset.

Multi-agent systems underpin the vision for ambient intelligence. However, developing multi-agent systems is a complex and challenging process. For example, pervasive computing has been found susceptible to instability, due to unwanted behaviour arising from unplanned interaction between rule based agents. This instability is impossible to predict, as it depends on the rules of interaction, the initial state of the system, the user interaction, and in the time delay of the system (due to network traffic, different speed of processing, etc). In this paper we present a theoretical framework, an Interaction Network (IN), together with a communication locking strategy that we call INPRES (Instability Prevention System) that can be used to identify and eliminate this problem. In addition we describe a Multi-Dimensional Model (MDM) to represent the agents and the state of each agent over time. A theorem showing the role of delays in an unstable system is presented. We present experimental results based on simulations and a physical emulation that demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods.

UNL system is designed and implemented by a nonprofit organization, UNDL Foundation at Geneva in 1999. UNL applications are application softwares that allow end users to accomplish natural language tasks, such as translating, summarizing, retrieving or extracting information, etc. Two major web based application softwares are Interactive ANalyzer (IAN), which is a natural language analysis system. It represents natural language sentences as semantic networks in the UNL format. Other application software is dEep-to-sUrface GENErator (EUGENE), which is an open-source interactive NLizer. It generates natural language sentences out of semantic networks represented in the UNL format. In this paper, NLization framework with EUGENE is focused, while using UNL system for accomplishing the task of machine translation. In whole NLization process, EUGENE takes a UNL input and delivers an output in natural language without any human intervention. It is language-independent and has to be parametrized to the natural language input through a dictionary and a grammar, provided as separate interpretable files. In this paper, it is explained that how UNL input is syntactically and semantically analyzed with the UNL-NL T-Grammar for NLization of UNL sentences involving verbs, pronouns and determiners for Punjabi natural language.

Software traceability is the ability to relate artefacts created during the development life cycle of software system. Traceability is essential in the software development process and it has been used to support several activities such as impact analysis, software maintenance and evolution, component reuse, verification and validation. Moreover, the importance of traceability in the software development process has been endorsed by several standards for quality management and process improvement such as ISO 9001:2000 and CMMI. Despite the importance of software quality, current support for traceability is inadequate. In this paper, we present a tool that tackle different aspects and issues of the traceability problem. In particular, the tool support a rule based approach to capture traceability relations between software models. The rules can be created to capture traceability relations of different types of software models.
