Build Electronic Arabic Lexicon
This work addresses the organization and indexing of Arabic lexicons for computational linguistics, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing methods with a specific technical improvement.
The paper tackled the problem of counting Arabic words and building an electronic lexicon by using mathematical relations to verify a historical count and proposing a hash function to map words to unique integer indices.
There are many known Arabic lexicons organized on different ways, each of them has a different number of Arabic words according to its organization way. This paper has used mathematical relations to count a number of Arabic words, which proofs the number of Arabic words presented by Al Farahidy. The paper also presents new way to build an electronic Arabic lexicon by using a hash function that converts each word (as input) to correspond a unique integer number (as output), these integer numbers will be used as an index to a lexicon entry.
