Spell checking

Description: The file represents a text corpus in the context of Arabic spell checking, where a group of persons edited different files, and all of the committed spelling errors by these persons have been recorded. A comprehensive representation these persons’ profile has been considered: male, female, old-aged, middle-aged, young-aged, high and low computer usage users, etc. Through this work, we aim to help researchers and those interested in Arabic NLP by providing them with an Arabic spell check corpus ready and open to exploitation and interpretation. This study also enabled the inventory of most spelling mistakes made by editors of Arabic texts. This file contains the following sections (tags): people – documents they printed – types of possible errors – errors they made. Each section (tag) contains some data that explains its details and its content, which helps researchers extracting research-oriented results. The people section contains basic information about each person and its relationship of using the computer, while the documents section clarifies all sentences in each document with the numbering of each sentence to be used in the errors section that was committed. We are also adding the “type of errors” section in which we list all the possible errors with their description in the Arabic language and give an illustrative example.

Description: This corpus constitutes all sentences representing the Arabic Controlled Language (ACL). It contains 551 sentences taken from four textbooks and websites dedicated to teach Arabic language to kids such as: a) First grade book, Republic of Sudan (كتاب الصف الاول جمهورية السودان), b) Al Jazeera Educational Site (موقع الجزيرة التعليمي), c) Bella Preparatory School Girls Forum (منتدى مدرسة بيلا الاعدادية بنات), and d) Albahr website (موقع انا البحر). These sentences are respecting 52 ACL rules. The average number of sentences for each rule is 10.6. All sentences in the corpus were analyzed by Farasa syntactic parser to confirm they are correctly analyzed. The validity of the parsing was done manually by linguist experts. The structure of this corpus is made of a header and a body. The header consists of a set of metadata that describe the corpus, such as the corpus name, the authors, the sources and further meta data. While the header is made of metadata, the body contains rules. Each rule has a code, a structure and all sentences respecting that rule. For each sentence, we store an id, the vowelledand unvowelled text as well as the result of parsing using Farasa.
