Dear all -

Apologies for the indulgent self-reference, but I wanted to share an article that covers my professional journey. It includes perspectives I think might be relevant to this community, and I also take the opportunity to promote our beloved SIGARAB.

تحية طيبة ..

جزيل الشكر على مشاركة رحلتكم ، وهي بلا شك مسيرة شيقة ، فيها الكثير من العبر واللفتات الجميلة والمعبرة ، انطلاقاً من دور الأسرة والوالدين تحديداً في بناء المعرفة الذاتية وتنوع مصادرها وآفاق الإبداع في توظيف الإرث المعرفي واللغوي. كما تعكس رحلتكم قدرتكم وإبداعكم على تحويل المعاناة إلى مصدر إلهام وإبداع منذ الصغر. وتوضح أهمية الهيئة الأكاديمية والمشرف تحديداً في سبر المعرفة ومساعدة الطالب على إطلاق ابداعاته بصدق وأمانة.

وفقكم الله وزادكم علماً وحكمة ونفع بكم.

كل التحية والشكر والتقدير.

SA Nizar,

 

Thanks for sharing this inspiring and motivating story. You are one of the founders of the Arabic NLP research and you have been an inspiration for many people, including myself, and I am sure you will continue to be for many generations to come.

 

Btw, I recommend others to see also your talk at LREC when accepting the ELRA Zampolli Prize, which is even more inspiring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA7Fv2Xf9gg

 

Thanks Nizar for making us proud

 

Walid
