Salam Sharaf, This is me Bayan Abu Shawar if you still remember. In fact it is a good idea if you apply it in any Arabic corpus, but i am not sure what will be the aim of doing this to Qur'an? Ok you extract the content words but they are not appear in the same order as it in Qur'an, so it's like you extract content words from different souras and merge it together. may be i am not familiar with world cloud, but because it is Qur'an we should be careful. If the aim is to extract th content word, then for example see how these words are used nowadays in different Arabic corpra like media one, comparing language of Qur'an with other ones, and do other useful statistics, this will be good. I am just worry about the way result appear in the link u sent us, just because it is qur'an, may be you could presented in a different way. What do you think?
Good luck, Bayan --- On Sat, 23/1/10, Abdulbaqi Sharaf <a.m.shara...@leeds.ac.uk> wrote: > From: Abdulbaqi Sharaf <a.m.shara...@leeds.ac.uk> > Subject: word cloud for Qur'anic chapters > To: "comp-quran@comp.leeds.ac.uk" <comp-quran@comp.leeds.ac.uk> > Date: Saturday, 23 January, 2010, 16:29 > Hello, > > I have implemented "word cloud" for Qur'anic surahs: > http://www.textminingthequran.com/php/wordcloud.html > > you can choose more than one Sura, and can consider only > content words, the list of stop words is initial and should > grow to more words in future, have a try and let me know > your feedback.. > > best, > > Abdul-Baquee M.
