Internal Projects
In the current decade of the electrical power sector, traditional power grids and their primitive systems became not able to meet the user requirements of power due to the multitude of appliances that require a huge amount of power and population growth, particularly in overcrowded countries, such as UAE. Therefore, alternative systems based on smart technologies, known as smart grids (SGs), are emerged to overcome such issues. The SG is an upgraded generation of the traditional power grid proposed to improve the grid systems and capacity, increasing the power supplier companies' (PSCs) profits. In addition, SG allows users to get advantages by rescheduling smart appliances' operation time and reducing electricity bills. The problem of scheduling smart appliances' operation time according to several constraints, is known as the power scheduling problem in smart home (PSPSH). Several artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been proposed to address PSPSH and find the best schedule optimally. The AI methods can achieve their benefits through an automatic smart system called artificial intelligence smart system. In this research project, a new approach is proposed for PSCs in UAE based on upgrading the traditional power grid to SG to achieve its benefits. In addition, an AISS is constructed to automatically and optimally address PSPSH using a recent robust AI method. The AI method is adapted to find the best schedule for appliances' operation time and address PSPSH optimally. Furthermore, the adapted AI method’s performance is improved to enhance results and achieve better schedules.

Internal Projects
The VDENCLUE is an enhanced variant of the DENCLUE algorithm capable of discovering clusters with varying densities. However, to compute an object density, VDENCLUE computes this object's influence from all other objects, which is repeated for each data object. Hence, incurring high computation overhead that is impractical for large datasets. This proposal introduces the first parallel variant of VDENCLUE (and DENCLUE) algorithm, an approximated variant of VDENCLUE, called MR-VDENCLUE. The MR-VDENCLUE uses the Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) technique to partition the big dataset, performs local clustering using adaptive grid structure, and aggregates local results based on a new merging approach to generate the final approximated results. Besides discovering clusters with arbitrary shapes, MR-VDENCLUE will discover clusters with varying densities and scale-up to handle big datasets.

Internal Projects
The interest in defining theme structures in science (so-called topics) has grown over the past ten years in understanding new and historical ideas in scientific publications. In reality, the content of scientific publications can be represented in short sentences or phrases. Commonly, the topics are often done by researchers manually, for instance, when they create or update their online profile on various scientific platforms or submit an original manuscript to a journal. At present, an overwhelming number of scientific publications are published every day, making it difficult to get a complete overview of such studies using manual approaches. Hence, focusing on automatically extracting topics from scientific publications could be the best alternative. Until today, there is no intelligent system for extracting significant topics from the scientific publications in the United Arab Emirates academic especially for research institutions that are ranked in the QS World University Rankings. This project aims to propose an intelligent system for automatically extracting topics from scientific publications, enabling the researchers and decision-makers to obtain a comprehensive overview of multi-scale scientific publications to increase the opportunities for collaboration between the researchers in UAE universities common interest topics.  Technically, this system can be divided into two main tasks: (i) Text Document Clustering and (ii) Topic Extraction. To achieve the project aims, the main objectives will be addressed as (a) Collecting the scientific publications of UAE universities from the Scopus database of the last five years. b) Clustering the scientific publication's text using unsupervised clustering method c) Classifying the scientific publications based on the clustering results to extract the most important scientific topics for each cluster. d) Build a web-based system that can visualize the results of the topic extraction task.

LATEX workshop - The Gate for Professional Document

LaTeX, which is pronounced «Lah-tech» or «Lay-tech» (to rhyme with «blech» or «Bertolt Brecht»), is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.

LaTeX is not a word processor! Instead, LaTeX encourages authors not to worry too much about the appearance of their documents but to concentrate on getting the right content.

The AIRC has organized a workshop, titled LATEX workshop - The Gate for Professional Document, for the MSAI students on 23/01/2022.

Python and Data Engineering Workshop

Python is an open-source (free) programming language that is used in web programming, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and many scientific applications. Learning Python allows the programmer to focus on solving problems, rather than focusing on syntax. Its relative size and simplified syntax give it an edge over languages like Java and C++, yet the abundance of libraries gives it the power needed to accomplish great things.
