Methodical evaluation of Arabic word embeddings
( Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) , 2017 , Conference)Many unsupervised learning techniques have been proposed to obtain meaningful representations of words from text. In this study, we evaluate these various techniques when used to generate Arabic word embeddings. We first ... -
Model-based risk assessment for cyber physical systems security
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Traditional techniques for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) security design either treat the cyber and physical systems independently, or do not address the specific vulnerabilities of real time embedded controllers and networks ... -
MINTED: Multicast virtual network embedding in cloud data centers with delay constraints
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Article)Network virtualization is regarded as the pillar of cloud computing, enabling the multi-tenancy concept where multiple Virtual Networks (VNs) can cohabit the same substrate network. With network virtualization, the problem ... -
MARL: Multimodal Attentional Representation Learning for Disease Prediction
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2021 , Conference)Existing learning models often utilise CT-scan images to predict lung diseases. These models are posed by high uncertainties that affect lung segmentation and visual feature learning. We introduce MARL, a novel Multimodal ... -
Multi-stage intra-patient template matching for prostate detection in MR volumes
(2013 , Conference)Detecting objects, a significant task in computer vision, is accompanied with many challenges. When we focus on medical images, the challenges of detecting an organ or a tumour exhibit their own specific difficulties. ... -
Progressive recovery for cloud-based infrastructure services
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference)Cloud-based services allow users to outsource their application and infrastructure needs over external datacenter/ networking facilities. However, as these offerings gain traction, there is a pressing need to address ... -
