The Arabic Corpus {compiled by Dr. Mourad Abbas ( http://sites.google.com/site/mouradabbas9/corpora ) The corpus Khaleej-2004 contains 5690 documents. It is divided to 4 topics (categories). The corpus Watan-2004 contains 20291 documents organized in 6 topics (categories). Researchers who use these two corpora would mention the two main references: (1) For Watan-2004 corpus ---------------------- M. Abbas, K. Smaili, D. Berkani, (2011) Evaluation of Topic Identification Methods on Arabic Corpora,JOURNAL OF DIGITAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT,vol. 9, N. 5, pp.185-192. 2) For Khaleej-2004 corpus --------------------------------- M.

The MITRE Annotation Toolkit (MAT) is a suite of tools which can be used for automated and human tagging of annotations. Annotation is a process, used mostly by researchers in natural language processing, of enhancing documents with information about the various phrase types the documents contain. MAT supports both UI interaction and command-line interaction, and provides various levels of control over the overall annotation process. It can be customized for specific tasks (e.g., named entity identification, de-identification of medical records). The goal of MAT is not to help you configure your training engine (in the default case, the Carafe CRF system) to achieve the best possible performance on your data. MAT is for "everything else": all the tools you end up wishing you had.
