An arabic-english indexing system using inverted index algorithm

In this study we have implemented the inverted index scheme on a collection of Arabic documents. Many researchers have tried to implement an information retrieval system that support the Arabic language, but most of them concentrate on stemming techniques, and some of them evaluated the existing systems. To enable the system to deal with the Arabic and English languages, we have used an implemented package; AraMorph, which uses a technique called transliteration, which is writing the words of any language with the letters of another language. We have evaluated the proposed system by calculating the precision and the recall to the most frequently used Arabic words in our collected corpus. Experiments showed the effectiveness of the proposed system to index the collected documents in the corpus.
