An Online Readability Leveled Arabic Thesaurus

Zhengyang Jiang, Nizar Habash, Muhamed Al Khalil

Abstract

This demo paper introduces the online Readability Leveled Arabic Thesaurus interface. For a given user input word, this interface provides the word’s possible lemmas, roots, English glosses, related Arabic words and phrases, and readability on a five-level readability scale. This interface builds on and connects multiple existing Arabic resources and processing tools. This one-of-a-kind system enables Arabic speakers and learners to benefit from advances in Arabic computational linguistics technologies. Feedback from users of the system will help the developers to identify lexical coverage gaps and errors. A live link to the demo is available at: http://samer.camel-lab.com/.
