• Abstract: Extracting synonyms from dictionaries or corpora is gaining special attention as synonyms play an important role in improving NLP application performance. This paper presents a survey of the different approaches and trends used in automatically extracting the synonyms. These approaches can be divided into four main categories. The first approach is to find the Synonyms using a translation graph. The second approach is to discover new transition pairs such as (Arabic-English) (English-France) then (Arabic-France). The third approach is to construct new WordNets by exploring synonymy graphs, and the fourth approach is to find similar words from corpora using Deep Learning methods, such as word embeddings and recently BERT models. The paper also presents a comparative analysis between these approaches and highlights potential adaptation to generate synonyms automatically in the Arabic language as future work.

  We present our progress in developing a novel algorithm to extract synonyms from bilingual dictionaries. The idea is to construct a translation graph from translation pairs, then to extract and consolidate cyclic paths to form bilingual sets of synonyms. The initial evaluation of this algorithm illustrates promising results in extracting Arabic-English bilingual synonyms.

• A novel approach to sentiment analysis in Persian using discourse and external semantic information [0.0]
  Many approaches have been proposed to extract the sentiment of individuals from documents written in natural languages. The majority of these approaches have focused on English, while resource-lean languages such as Persian suffer from the lack of research work and language resources. Due to this gap in Persian, the current work is accomplished to introduce new methods for sentiment analysis which have been applied on Persian.
