Special Session on
Linguistic Information Integration in Arabic Character and Text  
Recognition

The International Conference on Machine Intelligence 2005 (ICMI05)  
will be held in Tozeur, Tunisia, November 5-7, 2005. A special  
session on Linguistic Information Integration in Arabic Character and  
Text Recognition is planned. The session, which is due to last one  
full day, aims at bringing together specialists in Arabic OCR and  
Text recognition and specialists in Natural language processing  
(NLP), with special reference to Arabic, in either monolingual or  
multilingual perspective. The idea is to discuss the integration of  
linguistic information in linguistic-based and statistic-based  
approaches of Arabic printed and handwritten documents recognition,  
with special reference to various types of languages resources (LR- 
s), and to LR based analyzers. The idea is to develop robust systems  
for the recognition, indexing and thematic classification of printed  
or handwritten Arabic texts. The building of such systems is of  
momentous interest for Arabic countries and organizations,  
considering the significant production of printed and handwritten  
documents in Arabic witnessed daily in the whole world. Robust OCR  
systems should also be of great help in the indexing of Arabic  
historical documents and manuscripts in the context of the  
conservation and protection of the Arabic culture and civilisation  
inheritance.

Papers of current interest are invited to any of the areas listed  
bellow:
         Arabic character, word and text recognition
         Analysis of vowel-free Arabic texts
  Arabic language resources (electronic dictionaries, tree-banks,  
contextual analysis resources, etc.)
         Robust OCR techniques (printed and handwritten documents)
  Word and text images digitalization, compression and indexation  
techniques

Submission procedure
Papers should conform to the guidelines of the ACIDCA-ICMI05  
conference. Guidelines for formatting papers can be found in the  
ACIDCA-ICMI05 web site (www.acidca-icmi2005.org).

manuscript through the two e-mail address of the special session  
organizers/chairs by June 30, 2005. All submitted papers will be  
reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.
