Abstract

Arabic is widely spoken language but very few text mining tools have been developed for Arabic language. This paper presents an algorithm for automatically building dictionaries. The target domain is crime profiling. The corpus is mined for crime type, location and nationality. This work is then validated through three experiments, the results of which show that the algorithm developed here is promising.
