Abstract

The techniques using neural networks attempt to imitate the connectionist structure of the nervous system to extract the advantages of the capacities of lear-ning and generalisation (hardiness, tolerance to breakdowns, and the possibility of parallel treatment).


This survey enters in the setting of development of a connectionist system for the analysis of the syntactic structures of the arabic language based on the neo-khalilian linguistic formalism. It is undertaken in the multidisciplinary domain of the cognitive sciences, which integrates the mathematical modelisation by neural networks, the computer techniques of the automatic treatment of the natural language, and the basic concepts of a linguistic theory.


The conceived system untitled Neurokhall, is composed of a merely recurrent neurone network compound with a RAAM (Recursive Auto Associative Memory) for the recursive structure treatment. The system accepts in entrance the sentence word by word under the shape of syntactic features, and provides in exit the syn-tactic categories under the shape of the template of the level of the syntax of the neo-khalilian theory.
