General learning approach for event extraction: Case of management change event
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2013 , Article)Starting from an ontology of a targeted financial domain corresponding to transaction, performance and management change news, relevant segments of text containing at least a domain keyword are extracted. The linguistic ... -
SmartPads: A plug-N-play configurable tangible user interface
( Kluwer Academic Publishers , 2014 , Article)One common concern with video games today is the lack of physical activity they demand from the user. The design of games and tangible user interfaces (TUIs) that stimulate players and engage them into fun exercising ... -
A pictorial mobile-based communication application for non-verbal people with autism
( IEEE , 2014 , Conference)Non-verbal people with autism are usually unable to communicate normally using natural languages. They can, however, learn to communicate through specific symbols and images. Special education instructors have adopted this ... -
Folksonomy link prediction based on a tripartite graph for tag recommendation
( Springer , 2013 , Article)Nowadays social tagging has become a popular way to annotate, search, navigate and discover online resources, in turn leading to the sheer amount of user-generated metadata. This paper addresses the problem of recommending ... -
An edutainment system for assisting qatari children with moderate intellectual and learning disability through exerting physical activities
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference)Children with Moderate Intellectual Disability (MID) and those with Moderate Learning Disability (MLD) are growing up with extensive exposure to computer technology. Computers and computer-related devices have the potential ... -
A quality of experience model for haptic virtual environments
( Association for Computing Machinery , 2014 , Article)Haptic-based Virtual Reality (VR) applications have many merits. What is still obscure, from the designer's perspective of these applications, is the experience the users will undergo when they use the VR system. Quality ... -
A fuzzy-based adaptive rehabilitation framework for home-based wrist training
( IEEE , 2014 , Article)Computer-based rehabilitation systems have emerged as promising assistive tools for effective training and diagnosis and gained popularity in clinical settings. For many patients, home-based rehabilitation can be really ... -
Image steganography based on LSBMR using Sobel edge detection
( IEEE , 2014 , Conference)Steganography is the science of embedding confidential data inside data so they can be sent to destination without suspicion. Image-steganography is the most popular type of carrier to hold information. Many algorithms ... -
A combined Cognitive Multimedia Model for children with intellectual disabilities
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference)Children with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities are often faced with intellectual disorders ranging from mild to severe. This study proposes a multimedia-based learning model which combines Mayer's Cognitive ... -
Tele-wobble: A telerehabilitation wobble board for lower extremity therapy
( IEEE , 2012 , Article)Ankle deficiencies occur quite often among poststroke patients and people working in physically demanding professions in general. Computerized telerehabilitation systems have emerged as promising assistive tools for effective ... -
Understanding Simple Stories through Concepts Extraction and Multimedia Elements
( Springer , 2012 , Conference)Teaching children with intellectual disabilities is a challenging task. Instructors use different methodologies and techniques to introduce the concepts of lessons to the children, motivate them and keep them engaged. These ... -
Using fringes for minimal conceptual decomposition of binary contexts
( World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd , 2012 , Article)Extracting knowledge from huge data in a reasonable time is still a challenging problem. Most real data (structured or not) can be mapped to an equivalent binary context, with or without using a scaling method, as for ... -
