Research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has rapidly advanced
in recent years, resulting in exciting algorithms for sophisticated
processing of text and speech in various languages. Much of this
work focuses on English; in this book we address another group of
interesting and challenging languages for NLP research: the Semitic
languages. The Semitic group of languages includes Arabic (206
million native speakers), Amharic (27 million), Hebrew (7 million),
Tigrinya (6.7 million), Syriac (1 million) and Maltese (419
thousand). Semitic languages exhibit unique morphological
processes, challenging syntactic constructions and various other
phenomena that are less prevalent in other natural languages. These
challenges call for unique solutions, many of which are described
in this book. The 13 chapters presented in this book bring together
leading scientists from several universities and research
institutes worldwide. While this book devotes some attention to
cutting-edge algorithms and techniques, its primary purpose is a
thorough explication of best practices in the field. Furthermore,
every chapter describes how the techniques discussed apply to
Semitic languages. The book covers both statistical approaches to
NLP, which are dominant across various applications nowadays and
the more traditional, rule-based approaches, that were proven
useful for several other application domains. We hope that this
book will provide a "one-stop-shop'' for all the requisite
background and practical advice when building NLP applications for
Semitic languages.
