    Combining Tags and Reviews to Improve Social Book Search Performance
    (Springer, 2018-08-15) Chaa, Messaoud; Nouali, Omar; Bellot, Patrice
    The emergence of Web 2.0 and social networks have provided important amounts of information that led researchers from different fields to exploit it. Social information retrieval is one of the areas that aim to use this social information to improve the information retrieval performance. This information can be textual, like tags or reviews, or non textual like ratings, number of likes, number of shares, etc. In this paper, we focus on the integration of social textual information in the research model. As it seems logical that integrating tags in the retrieval model should not be in the same way taken to integrate reviews, we will analyze the different influences of using tags and reviews on both the settings of retrieval parameters and the retrieval effectiveness. After several experiments, on the CLEF social book search collection, we concluded that combining the results obtained from two separate indexes and two models with specific parameters for tags and reviews gives good results compared to when using a single index and a single model.

    Networked Wireless Sensors, Active RFID, and Handheld Devices for Modern Car Park Management: WSN, RFID, and Mob Devs for Car Park Management
    (IGI Global, 2015-07-01) Djenouri, Djamel; Karbab, Elmouatezbillah; Boulkaboul, Sahar; Bagula, Antoine
    Networked wireless sensors, actuators, RFID, and mobile computing technologies are explored in this paper on the quest for modern car park management systems with sophisticated services over the emerging internet of things (IoT), where things such as ubiquitous handheld computers, smart ubiquitous sensors, RFID readers and tags are expected to be interconnected to virtually form networks that enable a variety of services. After an overview of the literature, the authors propose a scalable and lowcost car parking framework (CPF) based on the integration of aforementioned technologies. A preliminary prototype implementation has been performed, as well as experimentation of some modules of the proposed CPF. The results demonstrate proof of concept, and particularly reveal that the proposed approach for WSN deployment considerably reduces the cost and energy consumption compared to existing solutions.

    Face and kinship image based on combination descriptors-DIEDA for large scale features
    (IEEE, 2018-12-30) Aliradi, Rachid; Belkhir, Abdelkader; Ouamane, Abdelmalik; Aliane, Hassina
    In this paper, we introduce an efficient linear similarity learning system for face verification. Humans can easily recognize each other by their faces and since the features of the face are unobtrusive to the condition of illumination and varying expression, the face remains as an access of active recognition technique to the human. The verification refers to the task of teaching a machine to recognize a pair of match and non-match faces (kin or No-kin) based on features extracted from facial images and to determine the degree of this similarity. There are real problems when the discriminative features are used in traditional kernel verification systems, such as concentration on the local information zones, containing enough noise in non-facing and redundant information in zones overlapping in certain blocks, manual adjustment of parameters and dimensions high vectors. To solve the above problems, a new method of robust face verification with combining with a large scales local features based on Discriminative-Information based on Exponential Discriminant Analysis (DIEDA). The projected histograms for each zone are scored using the discriminative metric learning. Finally, the different region scores corresponding to different descriptors at various scales are fused using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Compared with other relevant state-of-the-art work, this system improves the efficiency of learning while controlling the effectiveness. The experimental results proved that both of these two initializations are efficient and outperform performance of the other state-of-the-art techniques.

    DIEDA: discriminative information based on exponential discriminant analysis combined with local features representation for face and kinship verification
    (Springer, 2018-01-30) Aliradi, Rachid; Belkhir, Abdelkader; Ouamane, Abdelmalik; Elmaghraby , Adel S.
    Face and kinship verification using facial images is a novel and challenging problem in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a new system that uses discriminative information, which is based on the exponential discriminant analysis (DIEDA) combined with multiple scale descriptors. The histograms of different patches are concatenated to form a high dimensional feature vector, which represents a specific descriptor at a given scale. The projected histograms for each zone use the cosine similarity metric to reduce the feature vector dimensionality. Lastly, zone scores corresponding to various descriptors at different scales are fused and verified by using a classifier. This paper exploits discriminative side information for face and kinship verification in the wild (image pairs are from the same person or not). To tackle this problem, we take examples of the face samples with unlabeled kin relations from the labeled face in the wild dataset as the reference set. We create an optimized function by minimizing the interclass samples (with a kin relation) and maximizing the neighboring interclass samples (without a kinship relation) with the DIEDA approach. Experimental results on three publicly available face and kinship datasets show the superior performance of the proposed system over other state-of-the-art techniques.

    A critical review of quality of service models in mobile ad hoc networks
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2019) Bouchama, Nadir; Aïssani, Djamil; Djellab, Natalia; Nouali-Taboudjemat, Nadia
    Quality of service (QoS) provisioning in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) consists of providing a complex functionality in a harsh environment where resources are scarce. Thus, it is very challenging to build an efficient solution to address this issue. The proposed solutions in the literature are broadly classified into four categories, namely: QoS routing protocols, QoS signalling, QoS-aware MAC protocols and QoS models, which are the main concern of our study. The contribution of this paper is threefold: Firstly, we propose a set of guidelines to deal with the challenges facing QoS models design in ad hoc networks. Secondly, we propose a new taxonomy for QoS models in ad hoc networks. Finally, we provide an in-depth survey and discussion of the most relevant proposed frameworks.

    IoT-DMCP: An IoT data management and control platform for smart cities
    (SCITEPRESS – Science and Technology Publications, 2019) Boulkaboul, Sahar; Djenouri, Djamel; Bouhafs, Sadmi; Belaid, Mohand
    This paper presents a design and implementation of a data management platform to monitor and control smart objects in the Internet of Things (IoT). This is through IPv4/IPv6, and by combining IoT specific features and protocols such as CoAP, HTTP and WebSocket. The platform allows anomaly detection in IoT devices and real-time error reporting mechanisms. Moreover, the platform is designed as a standalone application, which targets at extending cloud connectivity to the edge of the network with fog computing. It extensively uses the features and entities provided by the Capillary Networks with a micro-services based architecture linked via a large set of REST APIs, which allows developing applications independently of the heterogeneous devices. The platform addresses the challenges in terms of connectivity, reliability, security and mobility of the Internet of Things through IPv6. The implementation of the platform is evaluated in a smart home scenario and tested via numeric results. The results show low latency, at the order of few ten of milliseconds, for building control over the implemented mobile application, which confirm realtime feature of the proposed solution.

    Minimum redundancy and maximum relevance for single and multi-document Arabic text summarization
    (Elsevier, 2014-12) Oufaida, Houda; Nouali, Omar; Blache, Philippe
    Automatic text summarization aims to produce summaries for one or more texts using machine techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical summarization system for Arabic texts. Our system uses a clustering algorithm and an adapted discriminant analysis method: mRMR (minimum redundancy and maximum relevance) to score terms. Through mRMR analysis, terms are ranked according to their discriminant and coverage power. Second, we propose a novel sentence extraction algorithm which selects sentences with top ranked terms and maximum diversity. Our system uses minimal language-dependant processing: sentence splitting, tokenization and root extraction. Experimental results on EASC and TAC 2011 MultiLingual datasets showed that our proposed approach is competitive to the state of the art systems.

    Object Detection in Images Based on Homogeneous Region Segmentation
    (Springer, 2018) Amrane, Abdesalam; Meziane, Abdelkrim; Boulkrinat, Nour El Houda
    Image segmentation for object detection is one of the most fundamental problems in computer vision, especially in object-region extraction task. Most popular approaches in the segmentation/object detection tasks use sliding-window or super-pixel labeling methods. The first method suffers from the number of window proposals, whereas the second suffers from the over-segmentation problem. To overcome these limitations, we present two strategies: the first one is a fast algorithm based on the region growing method for segmenting images into homogeneous regions. In the second one, we present a new technique for similar region merging, based on a three similarity measures, and computed using the region adjacency matrix. All of these methods are evaluated and compared to other state-of-the-art approaches that were applied on the Berkeley image database. The experimentations yielded promising results and would be used for future directions in our work.

    A genetic algorithm feature selection based approach for Arabic Sentiment Classification
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2016-11-29) Aliane, Hassina; Aliane, A.A; Ziane, M.; Bensaou, N.
    With the recently increasing interest for opinion mining from different research communities, there is an evolving body of work on Arabic Sentiment Analysis. There are few available polarity annotated datasets for this language, so most existing works use these datasets to test the best known supervised algorithms for their objectives. Naïve Bayes and SVM are the best reported algorithms in the Arabic sentiment analysis literature. The work described in this paper shows that using a genetic algorithm to select features and enhancing the quality of the training dataset improve significantly the accuracy of the learning algorithm. We use the LABR dataset of book reviews and compare our results with LABR’s authors’ results.

    Automatic Construction of Ontology from Arabic Texts
    (Université Djillali LIABES Sidi-Bel-Abbès, 2012-04-29) Mazari, Ahmed Cherif; Aliane, Hassina; Alimazighi, Zaia
    The work which will be presented in this paper is related to the building of an ontology of domain for the Arabic linguistics. We propose an approach of automatic construction that is using statistical techniques to extract elements of ontology from Arabic texts. Among these techniques we use two; the first is the "repeated segment" to identify the relevant terms that denote the concepts associated with the domain and the second is the "co-occurrence" to link these new concepts extracted to the ontology by hierarchical or non- hierarchical relations. The processing is done on a corpus of Arabic texts formed and prepared in advance.
