A method and a system for dottization of an Arabic Rasm utilizes natural language processing to add dots to Arabic Rasm. Initially, an input sequence of Arabic Rasms i.e., Arabic words without dots, is converted into a machine-readable input sequence. Further, components such as URLs, symbols, punctuation marks, white spaces, diacritics, and Kashida characters are removed, producing a normalized sequence. This sequence is then further refined by consolidating characters that appear in varied forms into single form of character. The consolidated sequence undergoes tokenization, generating multiple tokens. Each token is then padded at both its ends and fed into a trained recurrent neural network for processing, generating Arabic Rasms with dots. The output sequence from the network are the Arabic words with dots (Arabic word representing the Arabic Rasm with their respective dots), the output sequence is also mapped to input sequence as training set.
