Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimized WFST-Based ASR for Arabic: Balancing Memory, Speed, and AccuracyWael A. Sultan, Mourad S. Semary, Sherif M. AbdouWeighted Finite-State Transducers (WFSTs) have revolutionized Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) by enabling significantly faster decoding speeds compared to traditional systems that build the search space progressively. However, applying WFSTs to morphology-rich languages such as Arabic presents challenges due to the large vocabulary, resulting in extensive networks that exceed the memory capacity of standard CPUs. This study introduces various strategies to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2026 · 1,442 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProduction of Palm Oil with Methane Avoidance at Palm Oil Mill: A Case Study of Cradle-to-Gate Life Cycle AssessmentChiew Wei Puah, Yuen May Choo, Soon Hock OngThe study discusses a case study of cradle to gate life cycle assessment for the production of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) with methane avoidance at palm oil mill.
