Sibawayh Repository for Arabic Language Processing

Language resources and tools for the Arabic language are important for the improvement of Arabic natural language processing. Currently, this information is scattered in various laboratory and research centers. Sibawayh site is a first step to centralize all the work on the resources and applications around the Arabic NLP and thereafter provides a reference for researchers, universities, industry and interested in Arabic culture.

You developed a new Arabic morphological analyser, you developed a new Arabic corpus, or you created a new team working on Arabic NLP . you want the community to know it. Post this information on this site.

Therefore, we invite all interested people to post any information dealing with Arabic language processing in this repository site in order to share it with the community. No subscription are needed for this purpose.

We don't ask people to submit their research publications. We provide everyone with a form (called a .post.) in which you indicate the title of your work, its category (morphology, search engine, machine translation, etc.), a corresponding description, and a corresponding website and email in case others need more information on that work. The post is then published in this repository site and indexed from its category.
