While there has been a recent progress in the area of Arabic SentimentAnalysis, most of the resources in this area are either of limited size, domainspecific or not publicly available. In this paper, we address this problemby generating large multi-domain datasets for Sentiment Analysis in Arabic.The datasets were scrapped from different reviewing websites and consist of atotal of 33K annotated

This paper presents state of the art of the statistical methods that enhance English to Arabic (En-Ar) Machine Translation (MT). First, the paper introduces a brief history of the machine translation by clarifying the obstacles it faced; as exploring the history shows that research can develop new ideas. Second, the paper discusses the Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) method as an effective

The contribution of this article is twofold. First, we provide new theoretical insights into the relationship between a string and its reverse: If the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) of a string has been computed by sorting its suffixes, then the BWT, the suffix array, and the longest common prefix array of the reverse string can be derived from it without suffix sorting. Furthermore, we show that

Massive amount of genomics data are being produced nowadays by Next Generation Sequencing machines. The suffix array is currently the best choice for indexing genomics data, because of its efficiency and large number of applications. In this paper, we address the problem of constructing the suffix array on computer cluster in the cloud. We present a solution that automates the establishment of a

Nowadays, most service providers adopt Cloud Computing technology. Moving to Cloud creates new risks and challenges. The Cloud era is to outsource our services to Cloud Service Provider (CSP). However, we have to develop a strong governance framework to review the service level, to manage risk effectively and to certify that our critical information is secure. In this paper, we develop an

A collaborative framework was initiated to establish a community resource of ground truth segmentations from cardiac MRI. Multi-site, multi-vendor cardiac MRI datasets comprising 95 patients (73 men, 22 women; mean age 62.73. ±. 11.24. years) with coronary artery disease and prior myocardial infarction, were randomly selected from data made available by the Cardiac Atlas Project ( Fonseca et al

Computation of maximal exact matches (MEMs) is an important problem in comparing genomic sequences. Optimal sequential algorithms for computing MEMs have been already introduced and integrated in a number of software tools. To cope with large data and exploit new computing paradigms like cloud computing, it is important to develop efficient and ready-to-use solutions running on distributed

Human motion analysis is a vital research area for healthcare systems. The increasing need for automated activity analysis inspired the design of low cost wireless sensors that can capture information under free living conditions. Body and Visual Sensor Networks can easily record human behavior within a home environment. In this paper we propose a multiple classifier system that uses time series

As an attractive IT environment, Cloud Computing represents a good enough paradigm which governments, national entities, small/medium/large organizations and companies want to migrate to. In fact, outsourcing IT related services to Cloud technology, needs monitoring and controlling mechanisms. However, Cloud Customers cannot fully rely on the Cloud Providers measurements, reports and figures. In

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provides a number of different imaging acquisition types and views of different body cross sections and orientations. A huge amount of images are produced which demand an automatic method for classification based on the visual contents to facilitate diagnosis and searching operations. In this work, we propose a fully automated classification method for
