Clustering based approach extracting collocationsMohamed Achraf Ben Mohamed, Mounir Zrigui, Mohsen Maraoui
The following study presents a collocation extraction approach based on clustering technique. This study uses a combination of several classical measures which cover all aspects of a given corpus then it suggests separating bigrams found in the corpus in several disjoint groups according to the probability of presence of collocations. This will allow excluding groups where the presence of collocations is very unlikely and thus reducing in a meaningful way the search space.

Arabic CALL system based on pedagogically indexed textMohamed Achraf Ben Mohamed, Dhaou El Ghoul, Mohamed Amine Nahdi et al.
This article introduces the benefits of using computer as a tool for foreign language teaching and learning. It describes the effect of using Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools for learning Arabic. The technique explored in this particular case is the employment of pedagogically indexed corpora. This text-based method provides the teacher the advantage of building activities based on texts adapted to a particular pedagogical situation. This paper also presents ARAC: a Platform dedicated to language educators allowing them to create activities within their own pedagogical area of interest.
