New algorithm automates POS tagging for Arabic-English dictionary senses

Researchers have developed an algorithm to automatically assign part-of-speech tags to senses within a bilingual dictionary, specifically the Al-Mawrid Arabic-English dictionary. This process involves transferring POS tags from English translation equivalents found in Princeton WordNet to the Arabic dictionary senses after disambiguation. This method is crucial for integrating bilingual dictionaries with WordNet or converting them into WordNet-LMF format, offering a resource-light approach for natural language processing tools in languages with fewer available resources. AI

IMPACT This resource-light approach could accelerate the development of NLP tools for under-resourced languages by automating dictionary sense tagging.

    Automatic Part-of-Speech Tagging of Arabic-English Dictionary Senses through WordNet

    This paper proposed an algorithm for part-of-speech (POS) tagging senses of a bilingual dictionary. The algorithm is applied on the Al-Mawrid Arabic-English dictionary. The tagging task is accomplished by transferring the POS tags of the English translation equivalences (TEs) to …
