description
  • Though Arabic has become a world language of critical importance, lexical resources, especially for proper nouns, are scarce and small scale. Because of the important role place names play in such natural language applications as named entity extraction and machine translation, we are engaged in project to continuously expand and revise our Dictionary of Arabic Place Name Variants, which provides systematic coverage of Arabic orthographic variants and common orthographic errors.
