Holly Qur'an must be written correctly and precisely without any modification, despite the fact that some characters used in Qur'an does not have a corresponding Unicode representation. The aim of this paper is building a system that translates the Holly Qur'an to Qur'anic code, this translation will be done on three levels, character level, word level, and phrase level. Character level will be translated by extracting all the Arabic characters in the Holly Qur'an with all diacritics available in the Holly Qur'an regardless the linguistic combinations, and adding new character that has a symbol in the Holly Qur'an (Rasm Al-'Uthmani) [1] and has no Unicode representation for it. Word level will be translated by extracting all the duplicated words, generate a special code for these words. Phrase level will be created by extracting all similar patterns of variable lengths using enhanced (Lempel, Ziv, and Welch) LZW data Compression technique. We will use LZW technique for pattern extraction not for data compression.

This paper addresses real-word spell checking using context words and n-gram language models. A corpus that consists of different Arabic topics is collected. A collection of confusion sets is normally used in addressing real-word errors. Twenty eight confusion sets are chosen in our experiments. These sets were collected from the most common confused words made by non-native Arabic speakers and from OCR misrecognized words. The probabilities of the context words of the confusion sets are estimated using a window-based technique. N-gram language models are used to detect real-word errors and to choose the best correction for the errors once found. An automatic context-sensitive spell checking prototype that detects and corrects real-word errors in Arabic text is implemented. The experimental results showed promising correction accuracy.

In this paper, we propose a set of regulations and standards to measure the quality of Software systems serving the domain of the Holy Qur'an.These standards will allow The Information Technology Research Center for the Holy Quran and Its Sciences "Noor" the ability to evaluate and accredit software systems serving the domain of the Holy Qur'an according to the quality standards specified. The proposed accreditation system apply basic standards so that it does not allow for software that did not adhere to these standards to obtain the accreditation. Also, we propose to allow three levels of accreditation of software that has been certified according to specific criteria. This proposed quality measure provides the sccreditation validity, the rules of maintaining the accreditation and the conditions under which reaccreditation can be granted according to certain condidtion. A complete accreditation mechanism for companies by providing accreditation prerequisites, information on how to store software versions of accredited software and guidelines on how accreditation is granted. Therefore, since there is the possibility of expected fraud of using illegal accreditation certificates by some software application, we proposed some techniques to authenticate certifications and allow users to make sure the used software is certified by the NOOR center. Finally, the promotion of "NOOR" software accreditation between software development companies are discussed and some ideas are suggested.

In-between animated transition can be utilized for various purposes. Among others it can be used for screen savers on PC or advertising on billboard. In the case of advertising on the billboard, a series of video clip or still images will be displayed to the prospective users. Between these clips, animated transitions will be applied so that the change from one clip to another can be smoothly displayed. Currently various transition technique can be used for achieving this effect, mathematical-based interpolation such as linear or spline-based interpolation can be used. Similarly, nature movement pattern such as flowing water and flaming fire model are also utilized. It is widely known that Quranic verses give soothing effect to its listeners. However, not much has been studied on applying the soothing effect on visual medium. This paper looks at recreating the soothing effect on something which is visual-based. This sound-induced visualization re-creates the transition animation using Quranic verses recitation derived pattern as its model. Comparison is done with existing interpolation technique and nature based interpolation. Visual Attractive Rating experiments are conducted to measure the attractiveness level among each other. The results shows that the Quranic verses pattern can potentially produced attractive animated transition on par with general transition to be implemented for application such as advertising billboard or screen savers.

The Holy Quran is very important to the Muslims with respect to its authenticity. This paper studies and exploits the fragile watermarking method that works on block-wise in the wavelet domain and pixel-wise in the spatial domain. The input image is transformed into wavelet domain using discrete wavelet transform. Then, using block-wise based approach the coefficients matrix of wavelet-transformed image is divided into several blocks for further watermark the authentication bits. The authentication bits are embedded into a block with 2n elements by modifying only one original element with ±1. Afterward, the modified coefficients matrix is inverted back to the spatial domain. The difference of coefficients matrix of the modified and the inverse is embedded on the pixel by changing one insignificant bit. Obviously, it ensures imperceptible watermark on the host image. Public-key cryptography is utilized to encrypt the authentication bits. The authentication bits are derived from input image using well-known hash function. The experimental result shows proposed method is able to detect any manipulation on the content of digital Holy Quran and thus preserves its content's integrity.

Such efferts are needed in the acoustic perfection of the words of the Quran, and way to apply them by the student. Thus, the best model that facilitates the practical instruction in the transfer and teaching of Quran reciations online is the electronic- Miqrah, where both the teacher and the student meetand communication through voice and images directly. Therefore,this helps to teach Quran reciations and provides more exposure to Quran reciations, and this is reflected threough the many benefits it provided such as: The possibility of learning Quran recitations for those who cannot attend schools or Quran memorizing circles.; Enable the teaching of the Science of Qira'at for women while in their homes, especially in conservative societies like Saudi Arabi.; To facilitate the teaching of Qira'at in the Muslim world after it was limited only to specialized colleges.; Enable Qira'at teachers to educated others from any part of the world and receive a a certification in the seven or ten different Qira'at.

Most information retrieval researchers and specialists in NLP have focused on employing the concepts of the Holy Quran in their field of work as a step towards combining modern technology and the understanding of Quran itself. Retrieving information from the Holy Quran in response to a particular query has been considered to be a very significant field in research and analysis. Many researchers have found special search options to retrieve verses from the Holy Quran such as exact matching of query, query's stem matching, and query's synonyms matching based on certain thesauruses. In this study, the researchers adopt special search options for retrieving verses from the Holy Quran based on single-word queries according to the full meaning of the Quran's verses in addition to the meaning of the search query; in other words, the researchers in this study add the exact matching of search-query as a default search option in order to retrieve the verses that match the search query in a precise form. After that, the researchers also add query's synonyms matching as a search option to give the user the ability to add any synonym that can enhance the retrieval process. The synonyms selection is not based on a thesaurus but it just an additional search option that can aid in enhancing the Information retrieval process. In order to find the Quran verses that are related to the search query without including the word or its synonyms exactly, the researchers add new special search options based on the full meaning of the verses. These new search options are based on special indices for each verse in the Holy Quran about the topic of the verse and the explanation of its full meaning. The researchers select two books of the Holy Quran explanation that gives the full meaning of each verse; "Tafseer Klmat Al-Quran Tafseer w Bayan" and "Tafseer Al- Jalalayn".
大多数信息检索研究人员和NLP专家都致力于在他们的工作领域中使用神圣的古兰经概念,作为将现代技术与对古兰经本身的理解相结合的一步。从《古兰经》中检索信息以回答特定的问题被认为是研究和分析的一个非常重要的领域。许多研究人员已经找到了从《古兰经》中检索经文的特殊搜索选项,如query的精确匹配、query的词干匹配和基于某些同义词典的query的同义词匹配。在本研究中,研究者根据古兰经经文的完整含义以及搜索查询的含义,采用了基于单字查询的特殊搜索选项从《古兰经》中检索经文;换句话说,研究人员在这项研究中添加了搜索查询的精确匹配作为默认搜索选项,以便以精确的形式检索与搜索查询匹配的经文。之后,研究人员还添加了查询的同义词匹配作为搜索选项,让用户能够添加任何可以增强检索过程的同义词。同义词选择不是基于同义词典,而是一个附加的搜索选项,可以帮助增强信息检索过程。为了在不包含单词或同义词的情况下找到与搜索查询相关的古兰经经文,研究人员根据经文的完整含义添加了新的特殊搜索选项。这些新的搜索选项是基于《古兰经》中每节经文的特殊索引,关于经文的主题和对其全部含义的解释。研究人员选择了《古兰经》的两卷书来解释每一节的全部含义;“Tafseer Klmat Al- quuran Tafseer w Bayan”和“Tafseer Al- Jalalayn”。

Quran Recitation relies on identifying and applying different Tajweed rules [ÞæÇÚÏ ÇáÊÌæíÏ] such as Muddud [ãÏæÏ] and Tanween [Êäæíä] in the Quran text. This research is aimed at providing a tool that automatically finds and annotates letters that embody Tajweed rules in Quran text. This field remains an open research area due to the lack of open source NLP tools that support the Arabic language. Applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques on Quran text to extract Tajweed letters is considered an important Information Extraction (IE) step. This research explores the field of applying IE techniques on Quran text. Rule based IE techniques are well known to achieve optimal results. This research explores NLP techniques on Quranic text using GATE, an open source flexible NLP environment. GATE is employed for this research to build the application that processes un-annotated Quranic text corpus. The developed application is evaluated using the well known IE evaluation metrics precision and recall. By comparing the system's automatically annotated text with a gold standard (i.e. Quran text). The system proved to be efficient by achieving 100% precision and recall of the implemented Tajweed rules.

This paper aims to enlightening a unique technique influenced by modern methodologies of advanced learning implemented in various domains of knowledge. Faster communication and manipulation of data are the aspects of IT that contribute lot to the learning minds by keeping the continuity and captivating the learner to absorb more and more in efficient manner. Harvesting these qualities of IT and merging it for easier, better and structured learning of holy Quran is the main objective of this paper. Arabic language in general and dialectal of holy Quran in particular is under the focus of many researchers in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Arabic has morphology that differs from English in very basic level but it does follow systematic pattern when inflectional or derivational morphology is discussed. The challenges in the structuring of such a vast variety of data and their successful accomplishment are also added in brief but strengthen with examples to provide the depth of work carried out in this domain. Initially 23 attributes per word are applied to Quranic words (70% of words are covered till to date) based on Arabic parts of speech. These attributes are defined in such manner that language hierarchy is conserved to its maximum. The said application can be further enhanced to micro level data structuring. This effort did lead to implementation of information retrieval system that provides the proper tagging to each step.

Faster communication and manipulation of data are the aspects of IT that contribute lot to the learning minds by keeping the continuity and captivating the learner to absorb more and more in efficient manner. Harvesting these qualities of IT and merging it for easier, better and structured learning of holy Quran is the main objective of this paper. Arabic language in general and dialectal of holy Quran in particular is under the focus of many researchers in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Arabic has morphology that differs from English in very basic level but it does follow systematic pattern when inflectional or derivational morphology is discussed. The challenges in the structuring of such a vast variety of data and their successful accomplishment are also added in brief but strengthen with examples to provide the depth of work carried out in this domain. Initially 23 attributes per word are applied to Quranic words (70% of words are covered till to date) based on Arabic parts of speech. These attributes are defined in such manner that language hierarchy is conserved to its maximum. The said application can be further enhanced to micro level data structuring. This effort did lead to implementation of information retrieval system that provides the proper tagging to each step. This approach can be further utilised in the field of Quranic education and research.","PeriodicalId":328341,"journal":{"name":"2013 Taibah University International Conference on Advances in Information Technology for the Holy Quran and Its Sciences","volume":"56 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121706345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
