Comparison of Different Deep Learning Approaches to Arabic Sarcasm Detection

Irony and Sarcasm Detection (ISD) is a crucial task for many NLP applications, especially sentiment and opinion mining. It is also considered a challenging task even for humans. Several studies have focused on employing Deep Learning (DL) approaches, including building Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to detect irony and sarcasm content. However, most of them concentrated on detecting sarcasm in English

Topic Modeling on Arabic Language Dataset: Comparative Study

Topic modeling automatically infers the hidden themes in a collection of documents. There are several developed techniques for topic modeling, which are broadly categorized into Algebraic, Probabilistic and Neural. In this paper, we use an Arabic dataset to experiment and compare six models (LDA, NMF, CTM, ETM, and two Bertopic variants). The comparison used evaluation metrics of topic coherence

AgriSem: Semantic Web Technologies for Agricultural Data Interoperability

Objective/Contributions: The amount and types of raw data generated within the agriculture domain are dramatically growing. However, these raw data in themselves are meaningless and isolated, and therefore may offer little value to the farmer. The Agricultural Research Center (ARC)and the Central Lab for Agricultural Expert Systems (CLAES) was established to enhance the productivity of knowledge
