Teaching · Artificial Intelligence · Human Computer Interaction · Object-Oriented Programming using Java · C Programming Research Group Affiliations · Amine Group: www.sourceforge.net/projects/amine-platform Amine Platform Project: Amine is a multi-layer and open-source platform, implemented in Java and dedicated to the development of intelligent systems and agents. Amine is composed of four layers: a) a kernel layer that enables the creation, edition, update and manipulation of multi-lingua ontologies, b) an algebraic layer that offers a set of elementary data types (AmineInteger, AmineDouble, etc.) and structured types (AmineSet, AmineList, Term, Concept, Relation, Conceptual Graph) and various matching-based operations (like match, equal, unify, subsume, maximalJoin, generalize, analogy, compare, etc.), c) a programming layer that provides three programming paradigms and d) an agent and multi-agent systems layer that enables the development of agent-based applications. · Arabic Natural Language Processing Group (ETALA): www.iera.ac.ma/etala Morphological Analysis of Arabic Nouns Project · Networks & Intelligent Systems Group Projects Download Here are some stuff to download.
