Webpage Segmentation for Extracting Images and Their Surrounding Contextual Information
F. Fauzi, H. J. Long, M. Belkhatir
Web images come in hand with valuable contextual information. Although this information has long been mined for various uses such as image annotation, clustering of images, inferen…
On the Combined Use of Extrinsic Semantic Resources for Medical Information Search
Mohammed Maree, Israa Noor, Khaled Rabayah +2
Semantic concepts and relations encoded in domain-specific ontologies and other medical semantic resources play a crucial role in deciphering terms in medical queries and documents…
Near-duplicate video detection featuring coupled temporal and perceptual visual structures and logical inference based matching
B. Tahayna, M. Belkhatir
We propose in this paper an architecture for near-duplicate video detection based on: (i) index and query signature based structures integrating temporal and perceptual visual feat…
Vision-based techniques for gait recognition
Tracey K. M. Lee, Mohammed Belkhatir, Saeid Sanei
Global security concerns have raised a proliferation of video surveillance devices. Intelligent surveillance systems seek to discover possible threats automatically and raise alert…
On the Merging of Domain-Specific Heterogeneous Ontologies using Wordnet and Web Pattern-based Queries
M. Maree, M. Belkhatir
Ontologies form the basic interest in various computer science disciplines such as semantic web, information retrieval, database design, etc. They aim at providing a formal, explic…
A User Study to Investigate Semantically Relevant Contextual Information of WWW Images
Fariza Fauzi, Mohammed Belkhatir
The contextual information of Web images is investigated to address the issue of enriching their index characterizations with semantic descriptors and therefore bridge the semantic…
Image understanding and the web
Fariza Fauzi, Mohammed Belkhatir
The contextual information of Web images is investigated to address the issue of characterizing their content with semantic descriptors and therefore bridge the semantic gap, i.e.…
A Linguistically Driven Framework for Query Expansion via Grammatical Constituent Highlighting and Role-Based Concept Weighting
Bhawani Selvaretnam, Mohammed Belkhatir
In this paper, we propose a linguistically-motivated query expansion framework that recognizes and en-codes significant query constituents that characterize query intent in order t…
Fuzzy Logic Based Integration of Web Contextual Linguistic Structures for Enriching Conceptual Visual Representations
M. Belkhatir
Due to the difficulty of automatically mapping visual features with semantic descriptors, state-of-the-art frameworks have exhibited poor performance in terms of coverage and effec…
Analysis & Shortcomings of E-Recruitment Systems: Towards a Semantics-based Approach Addressing Knowledge Incompleteness and Limited Domain Coverage
M. Maree, A. Kmail, M. Belkhatir
The rapid development of the Internet has led to introducing new methods for e-recruitment and human resources management. These methods aim to systematically address the limitatio…
Natural language technology and query expansion: issues, state-of-the-art and perspectives
Bhawani Selvaretnam, Mohammed Belkhatir
The availability of an abundance of knowledge sources has spurred a large amount of effort in the development and enhancement of Information Retrieval techniques. Users information…
Coupled intrinsic and extrinsic human language resource-based query expansion
Bhawani Selvaretnam, Mohammed Belkhatir
Poor information retrieval performance has often been attributed to the query-document vocabulary mismatch problem which is defined as the difficulty for human users to formulate p…
Coupling semantic and statistical techniques for dynamically enriching web ontologies
Mohammed Maree, Mohammed Belkhatir
With the development of the Semantic Web technology, the use of ontologies to store and retrieve information covering several domains has increased. However, very few ontologies ar…
Leveraging Cognitive Search Patterns to Enhance Automated Natural Language Retrieval Performance
Bhawani Selvaretnam, Mohammed Belkhatir
The search of information in large text repositories has been plagued by the so-called document-query vocabulary gap, i.e. the semantic discordance between the contents in the stor…
Business Process Re-engineering in Supply Chains Examining the case of the expanding Halal industry
Mohammed Belkhatir, Shalini Bala, Noureddine Belkhatir
Due to several issues arising in the rapidly-expanding Halal industry, among them the production of non-genuine or contaminated products and meats, there is a need to develop effec…
