REPRESENTATION OF ARABIC WORDS - An Approach Towards Probabilistic Root-Pattern Relationships
Bassam Haddad · 2009
In the traditional Arabic NLP a root-pattern relationship has generally been considered as a simple relationship, whereas the potential aspect of considering it as a statistical measure has extensively been neglected and even never formally considered. This paper attempts therefore to explore some issues involved in considering the classical phenomenon of Arabic root-pattern relationships as probabilistic measures. Some novel probabilistic measures in the context of Arabic NLP will be introduced with respect of their semantic potential as uncertain relations capturing some root related Arabic word-forms probabilistically.
