Abstract Despite the extensive effort to improve intelligent educational tools for smart learning environments, automatic Arabic essay scoring remains a big research challenge. The nature of the writing style of the Arabic language makes the problem even more complicated. This study designs, implements, and evaluates an automatic Arabic essay scoring system. The proposed system starts with pre-processing the student answer and model answer dataset using data cleaning and natural language processing tasks. Then, it comprises two main components: the grading engine and the adaptive fusion engine. The grading engine employs string-based and corpus-based similarity algorithms separately.… More >

Abstract Text classification or categorization is the procedure of automatically tagging a textual document with most related labels or classes. When the number of labels is limited to one, the task becomes single-label text categorization. The Arabic texts include unstructured information also like English texts, and that is understandable for machine learning (ML) techniques, the text is changed and demonstrated by numerical value. In recent times, the dominant method for natural language processing (NLP) tasks is recurrent neural network (RNN), in general, long short term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural network (CNN). Deep learning (DL) models… More >

Abstract This study presents a novel and innovative approach to automatically translating Arabic Sign Language (ATSL) into spoken Arabic. The proposed solution utilizes a deep learning-based classification approach and the transfer learning technique to retrain 12 image recognition models. The image-based translation method maps sign language gestures to corresponding letters or words using distance measures and classification as a machine learning technique. The results show that the proposed model is more accurate and faster than traditional image-based models in classifying Arabic-language signs, with a translation accuracy of 93.7%. This research makes a significant contribution to the More >

Abstract Healthcare organizations rely on patients’ feedback and experiences to evaluate their performance and services, thereby allowing such organizations to improve inadequate services and address any shortcomings. According to the literature, social networks and particularly Twitter are effective platforms for gathering public opinions. Moreover, recent studies have used natural language processing to measure sentiments in text segments collected from Twitter to capture public opinions about various sectors, including healthcare. The present study aimed to analyze Arabic Twitter-based patient experience sentiments and to introduce an Arabic patient experience corpus. The authors collected 12,400 tweets from Arabic patients… More >

Abstract Text classification is an essential task for many applications related to the Natural Language Processing domain. It can be applied in many fields, such as Information Retrieval, Knowledge Extraction, and Knowledge modeling. Even though the importance of this task, Arabic Text Classification tools still suffer from many problems and remain incapable of responding to the increasing volume of Arabic content that circulates on the web or resides in large databases. This paper introduces a novel machine learning-based approach that exclusively uses hybrid (stylistic and semantic) features. First, we clean the Arabic documents and translate them… More >

Abstract The continuing advances in deep learning have paved the way for several challenging ideas. One such idea is visual lip-reading, which has recently drawn many research interests. Lip-reading, often referred to as visual speech recognition, is the ability to understand and predict spoken speech based solely on lip movements without using sounds. Due to the lack of research studies on visual speech recognition for the Arabic language in general, and its absence in the Quranic research, this research aims to fill this gap. This paper introduces a new publicly available Arabic lip-reading dataset containing 10490… More >

Abstract Natural Language Processing (NLP) for the Arabic language has gained much significance in recent years. The most commonly-utilized NLP task is the ‘Text Classification’ process. Its main intention is to apply the Machine Learning (ML) approaches for automatically classifying the textual files into one or more pre-defined categories. In ML approaches, the first and foremost crucial step is identifying an appropriate large dataset to test and train the method. One of the trending ML techniques, i.e., Deep Learning (DL) technique needs huge volumes of different types of datasets for training to yield the best outcomes.… More >

Abstract Online reviews regarding purchasing services or products offered are the main source of users’ opinions. To gain fame or profit, generally, spam reviews are written to demote or promote certain targeted products or services. This practice is called review spamming. During the last few years, various techniques have been recommended to solve the problem of spam reviews. Previous spam detection study focuses on English reviews, with a lesser interest in other languages. Spam review detection in Arabic online sources is an innovative topic despite the vast amount of data produced. Thus, this study develops an… More >

Abstract Arabic is the world’s first language, categorized by its rich and complicated grammatical formats. Furthermore, the Arabic morphology can be perplexing because nearly 10,000 roots and 900 patterns were the basis for verbs and nouns. The Arabic language consists of distinct variations utilized in a community and particular situations. Social media sites are a medium for expressing opinions and social phenomena like racism, hatred, offensive language, and all kinds of verbal violence. Such conduct does not impact particular nations, communities, or groups only, extending beyond such areas into people’s everyday lives. This study introduces an… More >

Abstract Arabic is one of the most spoken languages across the globe. However, there are fewer studies concerning Sentiment Analysis (SA) in Arabic. In recent years, the detected sentiments and emotions expressed in tweets have received significant interest. The substantial role played by the Arab region in international politics and the global economy has urged the need to examine the sentiments and emotions in the Arabic language. Two common models are available: Machine Learning and lexicon-based approaches to address emotion classification problems. With this motivation, the current research article develops a Teaching and Learning Optimization with… More >
