Supervised learning model for parsing Arabic language (1410.8783v1)

Abstract: Parsing the Arabic language is a difficult task given the specificities of this language and given the scarcity of digital resources (grammars and annotated corpora). In this paper, we suggest a method for Arabic parsing based on supervised machine learning. We used the SVMs algorithm to select the syntactic labels of the sentence. Furthermore, we evaluated our parser following the cross validation method by using the Penn Arabic Treebank. The obtained results are very encouraging.
