Arabic Natural Language Processing
From the webpage:
Arabic is the largest member of the Semitic language family and is spoken by nearly 500 million people worldwide. It is one of the six official UN languages. Despite its cultural, religious, and political significance, Arabic has received comparatively little attention by modern computational linguistics. We are remedying this oversight by developing tools and techniques that deliver state-of-the-art performance in a variety of language processing tasks. Machine translation is our most active area of research, but we have also worked on statistical parsing and part-of-speech tagging. This page provides links to our freely available software along with a list of relevant publications.
Software and papers from the Stanford NLP group.
An important capability to add to your toolkit, especially if you are dealing with the U.S. security complex.
