In recent years, deep learning algorithms have dominated automatic text generation in English, but there are a few research works available for other languages. In this paper, we propose a novel encoding-decoding system that generates character-level Arabic sentences from isolated RGB videos of Moroccan sign language. The video sequence was encoded by a spatiotemporal feature extraction using pose estimation models, while the label text of the video is transmitted to a sequence of representative vectors. Both the features and the label vector are joined and treated by a decoder layer to derive a final prediction. We trained the proposed system on an isolated Moroccan Sign Language dataset (MoSLD), composed of RGB videos from 125 MoSL signs. The experimental results reveal that the proposed model attains the best performance under several evaluation metrics. ✩ This paper was recommended for publication by G. Guangtao Zhai.

These applications require reliable data collection and achievement. Researchers have been investigated in this area proposing many techniques for WSN reliability meet, such as redundancy or retransmission mechanisms or multipaths routing protocols, some of these techniques dont care about the WSN limitation resources such as energy consumption. In this paper we propose a multipath routing algorithm for WSN for reliability data transmission, considering distance and energy consumption constraints.

Research paper thumbnail of Security of hardware architecture, design and performance of low drop-out voltage regulator LDO to protect power mobile applications

The advancement in lowpower design makes it possible that ubiquitous device can be powered by low-power energy source such as ambient energy or small size batteries. In many well supplied devices the problem related to power is essentially related to cost. However for lowpowered devices the problem of power is not only economics but also becomes very essential in terms of functionality. Due to the usual very small amount of energy or unstable energy available the way the engineer manages power becomes a key point in this area. Therefore, another focus of this dissertation is to try finding ways to improve the security of power management problems. Complementary metal oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) has become the predominant technology in integrated circuit design due to its high density, power savings and low manufacturing costs. The whole integrated circuit industry will still continue to benefit from the geometric downsizing that comes with every new generation of semiconductor manufacturing processes. Therefore, only several CMOS analog integrated circuit design techniques are proposed for low-powered ubiquitous device in this dissertation. This paper reviews the basics of LDO regulators and discusses the technology advances in the latest generation of LDOs that make them the preferred solution for many points of load power requirements. The paper will also introduce characteristics of CMOS LDO regulators and discuss their unique benefits in portable electronics applications. these new device offer a real advantages for the power management security of new applications mobile. Power efficiency and some practical issues for the CMOS implementation of these LDO structures are discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of Evolutionary neural network prediction for cumulative failure modeling

2009 IEEE/ACS International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications, 2009

A real coded genetic algorithm is used to optimize the mean square of the error produced by training a neural network established by Aljahdali S. [3]. In this paper we present a real coded genetic algorithm that uses the appropriate operators for this encoding type to train feed-forward neural network. We describe the genetic algorithm and we also experimentally compare our approach with the back propagation learning algorithm for the regression model order 4. Numerical results show that both the goodness-offit and the next-step-predictability of our proposed approach have greater accuracy in predicting software cumulative failure compared to other approaches.

Most of them are parametric models. In this paper we present a comparative study of different non-parametric models based on the neural networks and regression model learned by the real coded genetic algorithm to predict the cumulative failure in the software. Experimental results show that the training of different models by our real coded genetic algorithm have a good predictive capability across different projects.

Controlling failures in software require that one can predict problems early enough to take preventive action. The prediction of software failures is done by using the historical failures collected previously when they occur. To predict software failures, several models are proposed by researchers. In this paper, we present a recurrent neural network (RNN) to predict software failure using historical failure data. The proposed RNN is trained and tested using collected data from the literature; the obtained results are compared with other models and show that our proposed model gives very attractive prediction rates.

In this work, we propose a robust low face recognition technique based on unimodal features fusion, which is more discriminative than using only one feature modality. Features of each facial image are extracted using three steps: i) both Gabor filters and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) descriptor are calculated. ii) the size of these features is reduced using the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) method in order to remove redundant information. iii) the reduced features are combined using Discriminant Correlation Analysis (DCA) method. To achieve the recognition task, a Support Vectors Machine Classifier, is used. Performance of the proposed method will be measured using the AR database.

An ontology defines the terms and concepts (meaning) used to describe and represent an area of knowledge. The aim of this paper is to identify the basics notions of ontologies and ontology management tools specially protégé that are freely available and the process development of semantic web notions. The Semantic Web vision have lead to a number of standards such as OWL and Web Semantic Mining. While these standards provide a technical infrastructure, developers have little guidance on how to build real-world Semantic Web applications. We will start by some definitions of Semantic Web and the common points with Web Mining. We will illustrate how these notions can be put into practice using the modern Semantic Web development tool Protege, and indicate future possibilities;
