Optical Character recognition (OCR) has enabled many applications as it has attained high accuracy for all printing documents and also for handwriting of many languages. How-ever, the state-of-the-art accuracy of Arabic handwritten word recognition is far behind. Arabic script is cursive (both printed and handwritten). Therefore, traditionally Arabic recognition systems segment a word to characters first before recognizing its characters. Arabic word segmentation is very difficult because Arabic letters contain many dots. Moreover, Arabic letters are context sensitive and some letters overlapped vertically. A holis-tic recognizer that recognizes common words directly (without segmentation) seems the plausible model for recognizing Arabic common words. This paper presents the result of training a Conventional Neural Network (CNN), holistically, to recognize Arabic names. Experiments result shows that the proposed CNN is distinct and significantly superior to other recognizers that were used with the same dataset.

The Toponym Khirbet el-Aʿraj and the Site Identification of Bethsaida-Julias
2023
The origin and meaning of the Arabic toponym Khirbet el-Aʿraj have remained a mystery. It is of little wonder. The name has coursed through a philological maze of Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic over a span of time from the days of the New Testament, the Byzantines, the Ottomans, and reaching into the nineteenth-century rediscovery of the Holy Land. In this study, we will trace its course with some surprising results. We will find that its beginnings lie in a well-known New Testament account that was set in Jerusalem, but that its subsequent journey north can provide evidence for an equally elusive question — the site identification of Roman period Bethsaida-Julias.

أسماء الأعلام الشمال إفريقية القديمة
2020
إن دراسة ميراث الحضارة الشمال إفريقية القديمة يتطور باستمرار. هذا المجهود يشمل محاور جديدة ومقارﺑﺎت مجددة. مساهمتي في هذا الجهد تتنزل في هذا التمشي. هذه الدراسة تتمحور حول محاولة تفسير لتسميات الأعلام الإفريقية القديمة. انطلقت الفكرة من ملاحظة بسيطة حيث نجد في الفترة البيزنطية أسماء \"أنطلة\" و\"كوريب\" التي لها تقارب صوتي كبير مع أسماء عربية مما لفت انتباهي وأثار تساؤلي. مع العلم أن تفحص أسماء أخرى وصلتنا لا يشذ عن هذه الملاحظة. السؤال المركزي الذي سأحاول الإجابة عنه يتمثل في محاولة تفحص العلاقة بين بعض أسماء الشخصيات الإفريقية القديمة وأسماء عربية. سأحاول تقييم المصادر المتوفرة وتفكيك عدد من الأسماء الإفريقية القديمة من خلال هذه المقاربة الجديدة. تتمثل طرافة هذه الدراسة في محاولتها فحص التقارب بين أسماء شخصيات إفريقية قديمة وأسماء عربية. تعد هذه الدراسة حول التسميات الإفريقية مجددة في مقاربتها. لا يمكنها أن تتواصل هذه الدراسة بشكل جيد إلا بالاستناد على أدوات بحث متطورة تعتمد على مادة متنوعة مثل المصادر الأدبية والنقائشية. كذلك الفترة المدروسة يجب أن تشمل كامل الفترة القديمة دون أن تتوقف عند الفترة الرومانية كما تفعل ذلك غالبا الدراسات الحالية.

Classification of Printed Moroccan Town and Village Names
2014
This paper presents a new method called density weight and zigzag sequence to recognize printed Arabic names. This technique was performed on two steps, the first aims to reduce matrix size of 96x96 into 12x12 using density weight techniques, in the second step the last matrix (12x12) was used to extract 144 sequences following path zigzag technique. 144 features found are used for representing each name in data set. This proposed technique was tested on Morocco town and village names using KNN with consensus rule and SVM classifiers. The perfect score was obtained with KNN (k=9) and SVM (linear kernel).
