The Multilingual Corpus of Survey Questionnaires Query Interface

The dawn of the digital age led to increasing demands for digital research resources, which shall be quickly processed and handled by computers. Due to the amount of data created by this digitization process, the design of tools that enable the analysis and management of data and metadata has become a relevant topic. In this context, the Multilingual Corpus of Survey Questionnaires (MCSQ) contributes to the creation and distribution of data for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) following FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles, and provides functionalities for end-users that are not acquainted with programming through an easy-to-use interface. By simply applying the desired filters in the graphic interface, users can build linguistic resources for the survey research and translation areas, such as translation memories, thus facilitating data access and usage.

FLIN: A Flexible Natural Language Interface for Web Navigation

AI assistants can now carry out tasks for users by directly interacting with website UIs. Current semantic parsing and slot-filling techniques cannot flexibly adapt to many different websites without being constantly re-trained. We propose FLIN, a natural language interface for web navigation that maps user commands to concept-level actions (rather than low-level UI actions), thus being able to flexibly adapt to different websites and handle their transient nature. We frame this as a ranking problem: given a user command and a webpage, FLIN learns to score the most relevant navigation instruction (involving action and parameter values). To train and evaluate FLIN, we collect a dataset using nine popular websites from three domains. Our results show that FLIN was able to adapt to new websites in a given domain.

Spellchecking for Children in Web Search: a Natural Language Interface Case-study

Given the more widespread nature of natural language interfaces, it is increasingly important to understand who are accessing those interfaces, and how those interfaces are being used. In this paper, we explore spellchecking in the context of web search with children as the target audience. In particular, via a literature review we show that, while widely used, popular search tools are ill-designed for children. We then use spellcheckers as a case study to highlight the need for an interdisciplinary approach that brings together natural language processing, education, human-computer interaction to address a known information retrieval problem: query misspelling. We conclude that it is imperative that those for whom the interfaces are designed have a voice in the design process.

User Interface Design for People with Special Needs

يتم استخدام التقنيات والبيئات التفاعلية المعاصرة من قبل العديد من المستخدمين ذوي الخصائص والاحتياجات والمتطلبات المتنوعة بما في ذلك الأشخاص العاديين والمعاقين والأشخاص من جميع الأعمار وذوي المهارات ومستويات الخبرة المختلفة فهي تخترق جميع جوانب الحياة اليومية، لذا ظهرت العديد من الأبحاث حول كيفية تصميم أنظمة فعّالة لجميع المستخدمين. سنستعرض في هذه الدراسة بعض المنهجيات والطرق المستخدمة في تصميم الواجهات التفاعلية للأشخاص ذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة، حيث سنتطرق بالذكر إلى الواجهات الخاصة بالأطفال وكبار السن باعتبارهما فئتين عمريتين تحتاجان إلى اهتمام خاص عند التصميم، كما تم ذكر بعض الحلول المستخدمة في التصميم وتسهيل التفاعل لكل من المستخدمين المصابين بضعف في البصر أو الذين يعانون من ضعف في الإدارك المعرفي والتعلمي أو المستخدمين ذوي الإعاقة الحركية.

Brain Machine Interface

The Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is considered the latest development of the Human Computer Interface (HCI). Unlike traditional input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) BCI reads brain signals from different areas of the human head and translates these signals into commands that can control the computer. The importance of BCI comes from its many applications such as medical applications, especially to assist people with disabilities to help them deal with computers, and help people with Locked-In Syndrome to communicate with the outside world. and advertising applications to see how much the customer appreciates the product, Security applications, or finding a new way to play games using your brain. The aim of this research is to demonstrate the most recent solutions to the problems faced by computer-brain interfaces and the algorithms used to classify brain signals. The difficulty of this research is the in extracting and processing the signal.

Improving of The Properties of Composite Material (Aluminum Matrix) stainless Steel A304 Wires Reinforced with Medium Diameters

As a result of the industrial progress absolved by the world in all fields, new materials have been produced that have excellent engineering properties at low economical cost. Therefore, we have done this research by greening a composite material with a metal base (aluminum 6061) reinforced with stainless steel wire A304.

The study of the mathematical model for the delay time on subscriber line over the Integrated Service of Digital Network (ISDN)

Data Transfer among international switchboard network in generally as Service of Digital Network (ISDN) are very important to be considered in the design process. This study aim at identifying the nature and mechanism of the Time Delay which immensely affects data transfer and later on identifying networks characteristics, through implementing the Mathematical Model to calculate Time- Delay caused by the control channel on the subscriber line in case of primary signing in PRI into the (ISDN).Queuing System (QS) model was introduced in order to examine time characteristics of PRI.

Techniques to add new components to Multisim database

The research aims to study how to add new components to Multisim database. Or how to model a component using the programing language C++ , to use this new component later in designing and making electronic circuits and devices. Multisim has built-in models for most types of devices, , the study aims to lay the foundations and method for modeling of electronic items which is not located within the Multisim program database, (or present with different values) , and that we need while using this program in the modeling and simulation process for a given circuit. Code modeling method has been proposed to reach this goal; this method relies on the behavior of the device or the modeled component. The study shows how to create a Code model for a specific capacitor that has different values to those existing within the database and add to it.

Developing A Comprehensive Accident Report Template For Syria And Evaluating The Limitation In The Currently

The primary objective of this research is to assess the state of the road accidents’ data currently collected by using traditional text reports in the Syrian Arab Republic. The followed approach consisted of two main steps: (1) Developing a comprehensive road accident report template which contains all data items that should collected from a road accident . (2) Digitizing data from randomly selected traditional road accident text reports into a computer database developed based on the accident report template established in step 1.

A Novel Approach to the Automation of a Computerized Pollution Control System in Industrial plants

This paper presents an automated system to continuously monitor and control pollution levels of different types of pollutants in industrial plants. Steel producing complexes are considered in this paper to represent an example of industrial plants. The proposed system consists mainly of two major parts; the pollution measuring equipment and the automation system. The measuring devices are sensors, actuators, etc., located at the potential sources of pollutants such as dusts, stacks and chemical processes.
