General Requirements

1.    Academic background in linguistics / phonology discipline,  rather than language, literature, phonetics, or Islamic studies

2.    Deep knowledge of Arabic grammar as stated in classical texts

3.    Demonstrated practical experience in the specific subject of the project: e.g. experience in ï؟½Syllabification and Syllabic Phonologyï؟½

4.    Ability to read scholarly articles in English and Arabic. This usually means a qualification at the level of Masters or PhD

5.    Ability to write scholarly reports, with literature review, material, method, discussion

6.    Professionalism to work on time scheduled project with required quality and preciseness       

 

Required Tasks For All Projects

1.    Compile listings from Arabic grammar sources, e.g. list of roots

2.    Compile rules of Arabic grammar in original formalism (as described in classical Arabic books), e.g. combinations of affixes and stems

3.    Transform Arabic grammar rules into modern linguistic and phonological constructs, e.g. morphotactics

4.    Set up gold standard for evaluating a system. For example, for a morphological analyzer: words and their morphological decompositions. For a POS tagger or word class analyzer: a tagged corpus and also a dictionary of words with each word having multiple tags

5.    Evaluate existing methods and systems against the gold standard,

-          What is missing

-          Determine their limitations

-          Find out how robust they are

-          Reasons for the shortcoming

-          How to fix them

6.  NOT to program computational constructs such as finite state machines or context free grammar parsers

7. NOT to do experimental work (whether physical or on the computer) or machine learning

 

General notes for projects

1.    May be up to 12 months long

2.    Literature review and evaluation of existing systems must be completed within first three months

3.    Must be broken into phases and tasks within each phase (provide a plan)

4.    Deliverables must be made every month (milestones)

5.    Payment only made once deliverable has been reviewed

 

The Project related to your CV:

 

Title: Arabic Word Lexica, Classes and Relations

Topics you must be aware about

Morphological

Syntactic

Semantic 

Able to evaluate the existing Arabic treebanks: Penn Arabic Treebank, Prague Dependency Treebank, Nemlar, and WordNet

Would not start from scratch. Rather make a hierarchy appropriate for Arabic and extend existing dictionaries

Output:

Develop a tag-set that has all tags related to word formation and influence it.

It should be for both diacritized and undiacritized Arabic orthography.

Need contextual disambiguation rules.

 

Title:Arabic Morphology

Topics you must be aware about

Sub-lexica

Morphotactics

Rewrite rules (correction of spelling when combining morphs)

Should also be able to deal with existing systems: Kiraz, Almorgeana, MAGEAD, ElixirFM, and MADA

Output:

Provide a listing of sub-lexica, morphotactic rules, and rewrite rules

 

 

Title: Arabic Constituency Syntactic Grammar     

Output: Description of Arabic syntax grammar as CFG  ï؟½context free grammarï؟½, CCG ï؟½combinatory categorical grammarï؟½, TAG ï؟½

 

 

Title:Arabic Dependency Syntactic Grammar      

Topics: Description of Arabic syntax grammar as dependency grammar

Output:Conversion of Treebanks into Dependency Trees (after determining heads) and ultimately into unified Arabic dependency Treebank, converted from existing treebanks published by LDC (and perhaps more) ï؟½ the PATB and the PADT

 

The selected candidate will work on KSU (King Saud University) research projects that are supported by the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) National Plan for Science and Technology (NPST).
