International Research Fellowship Program: Arabic Computational Morphology and Machine Translation

0107369卡瓦利-斯福尔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三到二十四个月的研究。 该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，以及使用国外独特或互补的设施，专业知识和实验条件。Cavalli-Sforza与摩洛哥拉巴特的Ecole Nationale de L 'Industrie Minerale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。该研究提出的第一个是，阿拉伯语的计算形态学用于分析和生成，第二个是开发多引擎机器翻译，用于组合和比较阿拉伯语-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，在北非和中东的大约20个国家中，大约有2.6亿人使用阿拉伯语作为主要语言。 它也被非洲和东南亚等地区约13亿人用作第二语言。 Soudi博士是国立矿业工业学院语言与交流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.***
