We have worked most on developing the <br>programming library and on refining the lexicon. On top of these <br>essential components, we have built a user-friendly web application, <br>the ElixirFM 1.1 Online Interface.<br><br><a href="http://quest.ms.mff.cuni.cz/elixir/">http://quest.ms.mff.cuni.cz/elixir/</a><br><br>ElixirFM is a computational model of the morphology of Modern Written <br>Arabic. It provides the user with four different modes of operation, <br>in addition to the unique lexical resource and the other open-source <br>functions of the implementation.<br><br>Resolve<br> provides tokenization and morphological analysis of the inserted <br>text, even if you omit some symbols or do not spell everything <br>correctly. You can experiment with entering the text not only in the <br>original script and orthography, but also in other notations, <br>including a purely phonetic transcription.<br><br>Inflect<br> lets you inflect words into the forms required by context. You <br>only need to define the grammatical parameters of the expected word <br>forms. You can either enter natural language descriptions, or you can <br>specify the parameters using the positional morphological tags.<br><br>Derive<br> lets you derive words of similar meaning but different grammatical <br>category. You only need to tell the desired grammatical categories, <br>using either natural language descriptions, or the positional <br>morphological tags.<br><br>Lookup<br> can lookup lexical entries by the citation form and nests of <br>entries by the root. You can even search the dictionary using English.<br><br>The online interface includes example queries for each of the modes. <br>It further incorporates several interactive tools to facilitate the <br>browsing of the results returned by the system.<br><br>Information on the programming libraries and the research context of <br>the project is in part available in our papers. Yet, we would like to <br>extend the documentation according to the requirements of the users, <br>and would be happy to discuss any unclear issues with anyone <br>interested.<br><br>ElixirFM is published under the GNU General Public License GNU GPL 3. <br>Everyone is welcome to participate in this project!<br><br><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/elixir-fm/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/elixir-fm/</a><br><br>Enjoy ... and let us know in case of questions or comments :)<br><br><br>With best regards and wishes<br><br><br>Otakar Smrz & Viktor Bielicky<br><br>Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics<br>Charles University in Prague<br><br><br>The online version of this announcement with hyperlinks is posted at <br><br><a href="http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/padt/online/">http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/padt/online/</a><br><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">End of Arabic-L: 06 Mar 2009</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
