Research ArticleOpen accessAdoption of Peer-To-Peer Assessment in a Computing Skills CourseMansoor Al-A'aliThe process of peer-to-peer assessment brings great benefits to the teaching and learning process. This paper presents a peer assessment model which was applied to students enrolled in a generic computing skills course. In order to measure the effectiveness of this proposed model, students had to evaluate their colleagues based on predefined criteria and a comparison is presented between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,397 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessOptical Character Recognition System for Arabic Text Using Cursive Multi-Directional ApproachMansoor Al-A'ali, Jamil AhmadThis paper presents a novel new technique based on feature extraction and on dynamic cursor sizing for the recognition of Arabic Text. The most challenging area in Arabic OCR (AOCR) research is the segmentation of words into their sub-words and their individual characters. Several rules are defined that govern the size and movement of the cursor through each segment. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessRemoving Useless Productions of a Context Free Grammar through Petri NetMansoor Al-A'ali, Ali A. KhanFollowing the proposal for a Petri Net (PN) representation of the Context Free Grammar (CFG)[1], we propose in this paper, an algorithm to eliminate the useless productions of CFG. First the CFG is represented by a PN. Then, based on the reachability, an algorithm is developed to eliminate Useless-productions. The algorithm is analyzed and implemented in Pascal using examples of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPre-editing and Recursive-Phrase Composites for a Better English-to-Arabic Machine TranslationMansoor Al-A'aliThis research presents an approach for an English-to-Arabic Machine Translation System based on Building correct grammar and phrase structures first and then automatically deriving Translation Rules for phrase translation. For every English phrase, the grammar is first analysed and then a corresponding Arabic translation is given which would be used by the machine learning system to produce a translation rule … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
