International Research Fellowship Program: Arabic Computational Morphology and Machine Translation

[107369]卡沃利-斯福扎国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行3至24个月的研究。该计划的奖励为联合研究提供了机会，并利用独特或互补的设施、专业知识和国外的实验条件。该奖项将为Violetta L. Cavalli-Sforza博士提供8个月的支持，与摩洛哥拉巴特国家矿业工业学院的Abdelhadi Soudi博士一起研究阿拉伯语-英语/法语机器翻译的替代方法。本文提出的研究首先是阿拉伯语的计算形态学分析和生成，其次是多引擎机器翻译的发展，以结合和比较阿拉伯语-英语/法语机器翻译的替代方法。阿拉伯语是世界上主要的语言之一，大约有2.6亿人在北非和中东的20个国家使用阿拉伯语作为主要语言。在非洲和东南亚等地区，大约有13亿人将汉语作为第二语言使用。从政治、战略和商业的角度来看，它的重要性正在增加。苏迪是法国国立矿业工业学院语言与传播中心和计算机科学系的助理教授

The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will provide eight months of support to Dr. Violetta L. Cavalli-Sforza to do research with Dr. Abdelhadi Soudi of Ecole Nationale de L'Industrie Minerale in Rabat, Morocco on an investigation of alternative approaches in Arabic-English/French machine translation.The research proposed is first, computational morphology of Arabic for analysis and generation and the second is the development of a multi-engine machine translation for combining and comparing alternative approaches to Arabic-English/French machine translation. Arabic is one of the world's major languages, used by approximately 260 million people in about twenty countries in North Africa and the Middle East as the primary language. It is also used as a second language by approximately 1.3 billion people in areas including Africa and southeastern Asia. It is gaining in importance for political, strategic and business reasons.Dr. Soudi is assistant professor at the Center for Languages and Communication and the Computer Science Department at the Ecole Nationale de l'Industrie Minerale.***
