To the best of the authors knowledge, no previous attempts were made to build a distributional lexical semantic model for Classical Arabic. In this paper, we present a new association measure, the Refined Dice, for detecting syntagmatic relations between words in a very large corpus of Classical Arabic. In addition, an experimental study to evaluate the performance of the proposed measure is presented. The measure showed outstanding results in identifying collocations and significant co-occurrences from a very large corpus of Classical Arabic.

Recently, there has been an increasing trend to use computers for entering, editing and printing Braille documents using special purpose software and printers. Also, there is a large number of old Braille documents that have started to wear out and they need to be reproduced so that they can be preserved and copies made available to many people. Hence, the motivation of this research is the need to duplicate many of Braille documents automatically in very easy manner (like traditional photocopying machine) to be preserved and copies made available to many people. Implications of this research include building a Braille Copier machine that produces copies of Braille documents in exact format regardless of the language used. In addition, this machine is able to work as two-in-one (Coping and Printing). The method used requires optical recognition and image processing techniques so that Braille papers can b...

Research paper thumbnail of Ultra Wideband Indoor Positioning Technologies: Analysis and Recent Advances

In comparison with outdoor environments, sensing location information in indoor environments requires a higher precision and is a more challenging task in part because various objects reflect and disperse signals. Ultra WideBand (UWB) is an emerging technology in the field of indoor positioning that has shown better performance compared to others. In order to set the stage for this work, we provide a survey of the state-of-the-art technologies in indoor positioning, followed by a detailed comparative analysis of UWB positioning technologies. We also provide an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to analyze the present state of UWB positioning technologies. While SWOT is not a quantitative approach, it helps in assessing the real status and in revealing the potential of UWB positioning to effectively address the indoor positioning problem. Unlike previous studies, this paper presents new taxonomies, reviews some major recent advances, and argues for further exploration by the research community of this challenging problem space.

Our proposed method shows an improvement of about 3.3% over its predecessor method. The method was used for constructing an Arabic thesaurus and can be used with other languages as well.
