AraVec: A set of Arabic Word Embedding Models for use in Arabic NLP

Advancements in neural networks have led to developments in fields like computer vision, speech recognition and natural language processing (NLP). One of the most influential recent developments in NLP is the use of word embeddings, where words are represented as vectors in a continuous space, capturing many syntactic and semantic relations among them. AraVec is a pre-Trained distributed word

Soil biochar amendment affects the diversity of nosZ transcripts: Implications for N2O formation

Microbial nitrogen transformation processes such as denitrification represent major sources of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Soil biochar amendment has been shown to significantly decrease N2O emissions in various soils. However, the effect of biochar on the structure and function of microbial communities that actively perform nitrogen redox transformations has not been studied in

Detecting and Integrating Multiword Expression into English-Arabic Statistical Machine Translation

In this paper we introduce a new method for detecting a type of English Multiword Expressions (MWEs), which is phrasal verbs, into an English-Arabic phrase-based statistical machine translation (PBSMT) system. The detection starts with parsing the English side of the parallel corpus, detecting various linguistic patterns for phrasal verbs and finally integrate them into the En-Ar PBSMT system. In

Cloud computing security: Challenges & future trends

Cloud computing is one of the most trendy terminologies. Cloud providers aim to satisfy clients' requirements for computing resources such as services, applications, networks, storage and servers. They offer the possibility of leasing these resources rather than buying them. Many popular companies, such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft, began to enhance their services and apply the technology of

Optical character recognition using deep recurrent attention model

We address the problem of recognizing multi-digit numbers in optical character images. Classical approaches to solve this problem include separate localization, segmentation and recognition steps. In this paper, an integrated approach to multi-digit recognition from raw pixels to ultimate multi class labeling is proposed by using recurrent attention model based on a spatial transformer model

Vision capabilities for a humanoid robot tutoring biology

Robots are expected to be the future solution in various fields. One of these fields is education. Teachers, students and robots have to work together to make this assumption true. For this, robots must have the adequate capabilities that can help them succeed. Vision of the robot is an essential tool that the robot uses to perform several tasks. Hence, it has to be taken into consideration, the

MicroTarget: MicroRNA target gene prediction approach with application to breast cancer

MicroRNAs are known to play an essential role in gene regulation in plants and animals. The standard method for understanding microRNA-gene interactions is randomized controlled perturbation experiments. These experiments are costly and time consuming. Therefore, use of computational methods is essential. Currently, several computational methods have been developed to discover microRNA target

Dyadchurn: Customer churn prediction using strong social ties

The increase in mobile phone subscriptions in recent years, has led to near market saturation in the telecom industry. As a result, it has become harder for telecom providers to acquire new customers, and the need for retaining existing ones has become of paramount importance. Because of fierce competition between different telecom providers and because the ease of which customers can move from

Developing a Greenometer for green manufacturing assessment

In this paper a toolbox (Greenometer) to assess the greenness level of manufacturing companies is proposed. The assessment approach is based on capturing the relative greenness position of any company among other industries from different sectors as well as within the same sector. The assessment was based on selected greenness attributes and their composing indicators at each of the two levels of
