ETDs in Arabic?

[Edward Fox]

Hi!

Two students in the Virginia Tech Computer Science advanced graduate course on digital libraries are carrying out a research project to develop automatic classification methods that can work with ETDs in the Arabic language.

They are looking for ETDs in that language to test their deep learning programs, this semester.

If you have such, and are willing to aid this research, please let me know.

Many thanks!

Sincerely,  Ed Fox

Good morning,

 

The over 100 institutions that contribute to the Brazilian consortium have ETDs in many languages (pt, en, es, fr, it and ru) but no ETDs in Arabic.

 

Sorry!

 

Regards,

 

Ana

Hi Ed,

NDLTD has a fairly robust search function that allows for language filtering. Here's a result for everything that is tagged as Arabic. It's certainly not perfect, but it's a start.

The ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database is probably a good bet for you as well, and it does look like VT subscribes to that database from what I can tell. That database allows you to search for everything and filter on Arabic language theses and dissertations. When I do that search here at BC, it returns 248 arabic-language results across the entire database with more accuracy than the NDLTD database, which is hopefully a good starting point for a corpus. 248 objects isn't a lot for ProQuest to be concerned about, but I do want to be a good citizen of the community and warn you that bulk downloading of their content may be against their Terms of Service, even if it's a justifiable Fair Use (Fair Use doesn't negate contractual terms).

Finally, Google Scholar (link in Arabic) is always a possibility as well. You can change the language settings on the bottom bar. Unfortunately, you can't search for "everything" - you have to put in some kind of search term and you'd want to be smart about which terms you use to build a corpus appropriate to the experiment. I could have sworn there used to be a way to filter dissertations, but I can't find it now, so it may not be the easiest path forward (especially compared to the two options above).

Best of luck with your research!
