Arabic NLP

The Arabic NLP tools is in disarray. Most resources require affiliation with a university and are scattered across the web. This is an attempt to rectify that.

This repository will attempt to provide Python wrappers (and perhaps eventually brew formulae!) for many of our field's tools. Unzip any vanilla Arabic NLP tool into your lib folder and sit back! Also, whenever possible, we will try to include implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms.

from arabicnlp.morpho.root import SAMARooter

sama.ppattern('daras-u_1') # 'fa3al'
