The task of sentence and paragraph alignment is essential for preparing parallel texts that are needed in applications such as machine translation. The lack of sufficient linguistic data for under-resourced languages like Persian is a challenging issue. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid sentence and paragraph alignment model on Persian-English parallel documents based on simple linguistic features as well as length similarity between sentences and paragraphs of source and target languages. We apply a small bilingual dictionary of Persian-English nouns, punctuation marks, and length similarity as alignment metrics. We combine these features in a linear model and use genetic algorithm to learn the linear equation weights. Evaluation results show that the extracted features improve the baseline model which is only a length-based one.
