Sneak Peak

[zaidalyafeai]

Motivation

As you know machine learning has proven its importance in many fields, like computer vision, NLP, reinforcement learning, adversarial learning, etc .. Unfortunately, there is a little work to make machine learning accessible for Arabic-speaking people.

Goal

Our goal is to enrich the Arabic content by creating open-source projects and open the community eyes on the significance of machine learning. We want to create interactive applications that allow novice Arabs to learn more about machine learning and appreciate its advances.

Contributing

Make sure you check the issues to make sure we don't have repetitive simultaneous work. If your work has not been done create an issue with a proper title. After finishing your work create a pull requests to merge your contribution. Initially these are the projects we want to work on

Models

Create and train models using TensorFlow, Pytorch, etc ...

• Letters and digits recognition (done)
• Diactrization (تشكيل) (done)
• Poem Generation (done)
• Translation (In progress)
• Sentiment Analysis
• Text Auto-Complete
• Manuscript Reader
• Part of speech classification (اسم , فعل ، حرف)
• Word Embedding (done)

Interfaces

Make the models accessible through

• Web demos (In progress)
• Colab and Jupyter notebooks (In progress)
• Command line
• Desktop applications
• Gist codes
• Articles en/ar related to Arabic.

Datasets

• Arabic Digits (done)
• Arabic Letters (done)

Extra

We can also contribute to other projects. For instance, help translate this cheat sheet to Arabic.

Community

This is an open space community where we don't force members to do stuff. As long as you are motivated and have the passion to help the community to grow you are always welcomed. More importantly, plan your ideas well and take the time before committing yourself into a project.

Resources

As a start we will start on Github for hosting the website, models, datasets and other contents. Unfortunately, there is a limitation on the space that will hunt us in the future. Please let us know what you suggest on that matter.

This is a marvelous start @zaidalyafeai . shall the project scope include tutorials written in either way, Arabic or English? This will be a awesome addition.
Thanks for this initiative.

I appreciate the initiative thank you for the effort @zaidalyafeai .

I can make the website, if you have a model that I can follow it will be better.
For Resources we can use torrent and put the magnet links in the website.

Hey @MarchWorks
We currently had a good progress in this regard. However, we definitely need a team to maintain and enhance.
Appreciate your interest.
:)

@MarchWorks thanks for your suggestions. Really appreciate that :). torrents are blocked in my institution so we don't prefer that. We might consider paid services like amazon (depending on the price) but we are still in the beginning stages.
