Biography

I believe that everyone is skilled in something he loves a lot ! Coding, doing research and organizing are my hobbies and I am skilled in. I am excited about bridging the gap between the digital world and the human social interactions. In particular, I am interested in understanding the socio-linguistic situation in Algeria, as it is known as complex due to the large variety of cultures and dialects spoken within. In this regard, my research interests lie in computational linguistics with a focus on Arabic langage and the Algerian dialects. In addition, I am also interested in robotics and IoT.

I am Associate Professor at Guelma University. I received my PhD in Telecommunication & Information Processing from USTHB University in 2016, and the MSc in Pattern Recognition & AI from UBMA University, in 2012. I serve as reviewer in some conferences and renowned journals. I spend my free time in reading books and articles to learn new skills, as well as making nice electronic prototypes and CNC machines. I love camping and discover the beauty of the nature, spearfishing and sports.

Language Identifcation tools

CBA, WBA, SCA, HA1 and HA2 algorithms On-line test of our LID tools, where they are featured with only 32 languages.

Arabic stemming

ARLSTem algorithm On-line test of our proposed Arabic stemmer (now it is included in NLTK package).

Corpora

ARASTEM corpus The corpus was constructed by the following native Arabic speakers: Ibtissem Abainia, Ahmed Kedaya, Chouaib Fellah and Otman Bordjiba.

ANTSIX corpus Arabic Noisy Texts in SIX topics.

DLI32 corpus Dataset for Language Identification of 32 languages.

Source codes

ARLSTem algorithm The source codes of an effective Arabic light stemmer written in different programming languages.

Statistial algorithms for LID The source codes of 5 statistical algorithms (i.e. CBA, WBA, SCA, HA1 and HA2) that were conceived for language identification. Hence, the algorithms are featured with only 32 languages belonging to DLI32 corpus.

Electronics & Robotics

Kheirobot: Open source 8 DOF biped robot Kheirobot is a homemade 8 DOF biped robot based on Arduino Uno and 8 MG958 servos. It is remotely controlled via the nRF24L01+ radio transceiver, and can do multitasks such as: standing up on one leg, bending, shooting something, splitting, walking forward and backward.
