The Latin American Network of Human Genetics (RELAGH) created the Latin American School of Human and Medical Genetics (ELAG) to prepare young researchers and professionals of Latin America to deal ...with the growing challenge of the genomic medicine. ELAG promotes an annually course since 2005, which received 838 students from 17 Latin American countries over these 10 years. ELAG plays an important role to provide education in genetics applied to health sciences to fellows who live in countries with a less favorable economic situation. Influenced, among others, by the humanitarian perspective of José Maria Cantú, one of its founders, ELAG has always favored the discussion of ethical and social issues related to genetics in Latin America. Few initiatives in Latin America lasted 10 consecutive years. One of the factors responsible for the ELAG’s success has been its group of faculty members, who contribute to a friendly environment prone to facilitating the exchange of their own experiences with young researchers.
Lexical analysis can be a way to remove ambiguities in Arabic language. So their resolution is an important task in several Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. In this context that this ...paper is inscribed. Our proposed resolution method is based essentially on the use of transducers on text automata. Indeed these transducers specify the lexical and contextual rules for Arabic language. They allow the resolution of lexical ambiguities. In order to achieve this resolution method, different types of lexical ambiguities are identified and studied to extract an appropriate set of rules. After that, we described lexical rules in ELAG 19 system (Elimination of Lexical Ambiguities by Grammars), which can delete paths representing morphosyntactic ambiguities. In addition, we present an experimentation implemented in the Unitex platform and conducted by various linguistic resources to obtain disambiguated syntactic structures suitable for the syntactic analysis. The obtained results are ambitious and can be improved by adding other rules and heuristics.
