Adil TOUMOUH obtained his PHD in 2013 in the field of ontology learning. His research area includes the engineering of ontologies, computational linguistic, knowledge and web intelligence and NLP. He is a member of the Knowledge Engineering Team at the EEDIS laboratory. Dr. Adil TOUMOUH has many papers and has already contributed in the field of multilingualism with Prof. LEHIRECHE Ahmed and Dr. Dominic Widdows by proposing a method for the enrichment of multilingual resources using parallel corpora and algebraic model Word Space Model. The three authors contribute also on the field of adaptation of lexical-semantic resources to the biomedical domain. Currently he is a Teacher and researcher at the Institute of Computer Sciences of Liabess Djilali University, teaching object-oriented programming and information systems.

Exploring Semantic Relatedness in Arabic Corpora using Paradigmatic and Syntagmatic Models

In this paper we explore two paradigms: firstly, paradigmatic representation via the native HAL model including a model enriched by adding word order information using the permutation technique of Sahlgren and al [21], and secondly the syntagmatic representation via a words-by-documents model constructed using the Random Indexing method. We demonstrate that these kinds of word space models which were initially dedicated to extract similarity can also been efficient for extracting relatedness from Arabic corpora. For a given word the proposed models search the related words to it. A result is qualified as a failure when the number of related words given by a model is less than or equal to 4, otherwise it is considered as a success. To decide if a word is related to other one, we get help from an expert of the economic domain and use a glossary1 of the domain. First we begin by a comparison between a native HAL model and term- document model. The simple HAL model records a better result with a success rate of 72.92%. In a second stage, we want to boost the HAL model results by adding word order information via the permutation technique of sahlgren and al [21]. The success rate of the enriched HAL model attempt 79.2 %.
