Extensive research efforts in the area of Information Retrieval were concentrated on developing retrieval systems related to Arabic language for the different natural language and information retrieval methodologies. However, little effort was conducted in those areas for knowledge extraction from the Holly Muslim book, the Quran. In this paper, we present an approach (MQVC) for retrieving the ...

This paper presents a large corpus created from the original Quranic text, where semantically similar or related verses are linked together. This corpus will be a valuable evaluation resource for computational linguists investigating similarity and relatedness in short texts. Furthermore, this dataset can be used for evaluation of paraphrase analysis and machine translation tasks. Our dataset i...

BACKGROUND Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, yet many people skip breakfast. Studies indicate that school age children who regularly skip breakfast are not likely to concentrate in class, thus affecting school performance. This study determined the breakfast habits and nutrient contributions of the breakfast meal to the days' nutrient intake. DESIGN A cross sectional...

The rendering of Sanskrit poetry from text to speech is a problem that has not been solved before. One reason may be the complications in the language itself. We present unique algorithms based on extensive empirical analysis, to synthesize speech from a given text input of Sanskrit verses. Using a prerecorded audio units database which is itself tremendously reduced in size compared to the col...

This article concerned with the translation of Quranic verses to Braille symbols, by using Visual basic program. The system has the ability to translate the special vibration for the Quran. This study limited for the (Noun + Scoon) vibrations. It builds on an existing translation system that combines a finite state machine with left and right context matching and a set of translation rules. Thi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness and safety profile of LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) verses cryotherapy in the treatment of CIN. MATERIAL AND METHOD Women with abnormal pap smears were subjected to VIA and VILLI followed by colposcopy. A total of 200 cases were included in this prospective study. Once the diagnosis of CIN was confirmed on histopathology, the women were ...

Verses: Subversion of Cartesian Theory and Practice in the "Discours a Madame de La Sabliere"" (1996).

Unsupervised machine learning techniques are described and applied on the mildly preprocessed Arabic text of the Holy Qur’an, with promising results. Topic modelling based on nonnegative matrix factorization was used to successfully extract meaningful topics underlying the set of 6236 verses in the corpus. Data visualization using t-SNE dimensionality reduction correctly grouped verses of the H...
