Word Sense Disambiguation Approach for Arabic Text

Author 1: Nadia Bouhriz Author 2: Faouzia Benabbou Author 3: El Habib Ben Lahmar

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) consists of identifying the correct sense of an ambiguous word occurring in a given context. Most of Arabic WSD systems are based generally on the information extracted from the local context of the word to be disambiguated. This information is not usually sufficient for a best… Read full abstract & cite →

A Frequency Based Hierarchical Fast Search Block Matching Algorithm for Fast Video Communication

Author 1: Nijad Al-Najdawi Author 2: Sara Tedmori Author 3: Omar A. Alzubi Author 4: Osama Dorgham Author 5: Jafar A. Alzubi

Numerous fast-search block motion estimation algorithms have been developed to circumvent the high computational cost required by the full-search algorithm. These techniques however often converge to a local minimum, which makes them subject to noise and matching errors. Hence, many spatial domain block matching algorithms have been developed in literature… Read full abstract & cite →
