Welcome, I am Nada Alalyani.
A Ph.D Student at Colorado State University
I am working on moving NLP systems closer to genuine “understanding” of grounded language involving embodied form of human computer interaction. Referring Expressions Generation is the main challange of this current work.
Research
Intelligent Feature Selection and classification Methods for Arabic Documents
Development of a bio-inspired algorithm called Firefly for Feature Selection process and combine it with SVM to build an effecient Arabic Text Categorizer system. Three available dataset are annotated and combined to train the model.
Development of General, Educational, and Research Websites
Development of the followings:
Predatory Scientific Publications website
Preschool Learning Managment System
Summer Training Management System
General Relations Management System
Multimodal Communication with Computer for Language Understanding
To increase "deep understanding" for both agents and the humans, we are conducting experiments on multimodal referring expressions REs: • Google Speech Recognition assessment • Understanding how humans use multimodal REs when interacting with avatars • Training intelligent models to Capture attributive descriptors, relational descriptors and historical actions
