Employment

Research Interests

Interested in making computers read and understand texts like humans. Modelling and representing natural language from computational perspective using the most advanced AI technologies such as deep neural networks. I zoom in on end-to-end artificial systems to give us useful ways of otherwise complex systems. Recently, my focus is on the Arabic language, investigating the process of Arabic word sense disambiguation different from traditional research approaches, that is by computationally obtaining multiple embeddings representing each sense. Another problem that was approached differently, was considering Arabic diacritisized text as a sequence to sequence problem to restore the missing diacritics. Currently, I am working on cross-lingual artificial question answering systems making use of transformer structure
