Arabic-English Automatic Ontology Mapping Based on Machine Readable Dictionary - Presentation @ University of Birzeit



Faculty of Information Technology at Birzeit University is pleased to invite you to attend the lecture entitled:

Arabic-English Automatic Ontology Mapping Based on Machine Readable Dictionary

Presented by:
Dr. Mustafa Abu Salah
Senior Knowledge Management Specialist –
Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC)

Abstract:

Ontologies are the backbone of the semantic web and allow software agents to interoperate effectively. An ontology is able to represent and to clarify concepts and inter-concept relationships and can be used as a framework to represent underlying domain concepts expressed in many different languages. One way to do this is by mapping Ontologies in different languages using an inter-lingual index. In this presentation I will present a new methodology for ontology mapping in different script human languages (Arabic/English). Alo I will identify the steps of extracting concepts on both ontologies and automatically mapping them based on Machine Readable Dictionary (MRD) and Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) tools. This presentation also discusses a unique tool that automatically extracts unmapped concepts and uses MRD and WSD to match them and create semantic bridges between the ontologies.

Top Google Adsense Alternatives

Google Adsense is a web tool that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to automatically serve text, image, video, and rich media adverts that are targeted to site content and audience. These adverts are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google, and they can generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis.  Google servers advertisers using google adwords platform, while adsense is the publishers platform. Google Adsense is the top Ad Publishers platform over the web ranking number one in web advertising industry. Adsense offers contextual advertisements that covers web sites, blogs, games, videos, mobile browsing etc. What made Google Adsense no. 1 is the reliability, stability, variety of services and large number of publishers including google it self. Also google has a fair platform that detects invalid clicks so google successfully protects its advertisers and also offers its best publishers top CPC. Two reasons are behind people think

The Semantic Web

Semantic Web aims to create a meaning and define inter-relationship for information available on the web In the early stages of the World Wide Web (web) it was necessary to develop standards to view web content (HTML language) and to create communication channels (N-Tier applications, email, ftp, etc.). As the web started to be the world’s largest knowledge base, accessible world wide, it became important to develop tools to transfer knowledge between cultures. However, it is still not possible for applications and agents to interoperate with other applications and agents without having a predefined, human created common framework of the meaning of the information being transferred on both sides. Semantic Web (SW) alleviates this problem by providing a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries [W3C Semantic Web, 2019]. A clear example on SW application is schema.org. Google, Bing, Yahoo use schema

Arabs In London

I was not able to watch Arabs in London episodes during the last holy month of Ramadan. I watched it recently on MBC. I was really impressed by the performance of some actors and actresses. The most impressive one was Mais Hamdan who was able to present the Palestinian accent efficiently. This TV series was written and directed by Anwar Qawadri a Syrian director who studied and lived in London. The below video is about 8 minutes show when Sami finds out that his friend Eddy (Adnan) passed away.
