Tweets Sentiment Analysis March - July 2017


Keywords: Text mining - Twitter sentiment - Analysis using deep learning


This study is preparing dataset, preprocess and clean tweets related on health In Arabic, French and English. Applying deep learning algorithm RNN/ CNN for sentiment analysis and classification.

I'm analyzing one of the social media network: twitter, in, order to classify the opinion of the user who talks about health. To do that, we use the enhancement of the deep learning algorithms to clarify the tweets/texts in three languages and compare between the results across the chosen topics.

3D Reconstruction and Machine Learning Spring 2017


Keywords: Medical imaging - 3D reconstruction - Deep learning


In order to make it easier and affordable to hospitals the main purpose of our research is to create an application on mobile devices with dual cameras which will enable its user to accurately measure, depth and volume of pressure injuries and classify their tissue types. By using different techniques for point matching on only a single pair of stereo image, we managed to efficiently achieve a 3D shape reconstruction and retrieve its characteristics.

Affective Gaming in Virtual Reality Spring 2017


Keywords: Virtual Reality - Health Application - Emotion Recognition


This main purpose of this project is towards designing interactive VR games adaptive to user emotion feedbacks based on experiments and analysis on psychophysiological reactivity. The outcome of the research will lead to a new approach of gaming design, and potential new training method that adjusts contents or difficulties according to an extra dimension.

Reliability of Cloud Computing Spring 2015


Keywords: Distributed systems - Cloud computing


Moataz's research focusses on enhance the reliability of cloud computing. A reliability is most related with the rate of failures and the repair time of failure event. The failures in cloud are classified execution failure and scheduling failure. The execution failure produces from overloading machines due to submitted jobs or configuration error when software installed. The critical issue with overloading machine that the object is reducing load with save energy consumption at save time. The enchantment reliability with reducing energy consumption is critical tradeoff in cloud computing environment.

The scheduling error coming from the high rate of tasks requested from cloud provider which due to the queue is follow up and some task will kill for long waiting time in queue. The high rate of requested tasks is can result from distributed denial of services (DDoS). The prevention and detection DDoS is primary defense keeping the reliability from degration.
