Computational Morphology and Lexicography Modeling of Modern Standard
  Arabic Nominals
Christian Khairallah Reham Marzouk Salam Khalifa Mayar Nassar Nizar Habash
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) nominals present many morphological and lexical
modeling challenges that have not been consistently addressed previously. This
paper attempts to define the space of such challenges, and leverage a recently
proposed morphological framework to build a comprehensive and extensible model
for MSA nominals. Our model design addresses the nominals' intricate
morphotactics, as well as their paradigmatic irregularities. Our implementation
showcases enhanced accuracy and consistency compared to a commonly used MSA
morphological analyzer and generator. We make our models publicly available.
