Tafsir al-Qur'an al-‘Azim Karya Ibn Kasir (Suatu Kajian Metodologi)
No full textTesis ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang difokuskan pada penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan multidisipliner yang membahas dan mengkaji obyek dari beberapa disiplin ilmu. Jenis data dalam tesis ini ada dua yaitu data primer dan sekunder. Data primer yang dimaksud adalah Tafsir al-Qur'an al-‘Azim karya Ibn Kasir dan data sekundernya adalah segala referensi yang berkaitan dengan data primer. Hasil penelitian tesis ini menunjukkan bahwa metode penafsiran yang digunakan Ibn Kasir dalam Tafsir al-Qur'an al-‘Azim adalah tahlili, bentuk penafsiran dalam Tafsir al-Qur'an al-‘Azim adalah bi ma'sur dan al-ra’y, serta corak penafsiran dalam Tafsir al-Qur'a>n al-‘Azim adalah fiqhi, lugawi, sejarah dan akhlaqi. Ketiga hasil yang diperoleh tersebut dibuktikan dengan beberapa langkah penelusuran dan dilengkapi dengan cotoh-cotoh penafsiran sebagai pembuktiannya.
Penelitian tentang metodologi Tafsir al-Qur'an al-‘Azim menarik dilakukan karena memiliki corak yang beragam khususnya corak fiqhi dan lugawi nya yang sangat membantu dalam penyandaran sumber hukum. Corak sejarahnya menjadikan tafsir ini lebih menarik, karena menitik beratkan pada aspek pendidikan atau akhlak bagi khalayak khususnya bagi umat Islam

Visual scene recognition with biologically relevant generative models
No full textThis research focuses on developing visual object categorization methodologies that are based on machine learning techniques and biologically inspired generative models of visual scene recognition. Modelling the statistical variability in visual patterns, in the space of features extracted from them by an appropriate low level signal processing technique, is an important matter of investigation for both humans and machines. To study this problem, we have examined in detail two recent probabilistic models of vision: a simple multivariate Gaussian model as suggested by (Karklin & Lewicki, 2009) and a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) proposed by (Hinton, 2002). Both the models have been widely used for visual object classification and scene analysis tasks before. This research highlights that these models on their own are not plausible enough to perform the classification task, and suggests Fisher kernel as a means of inducing discrimination into these models for classification power. Our empirical results on standard benchmark data sets reveal that the classification performance of these generative models could be significantly boosted near to the state of the art performance, by drawing a Fisher kernel from compact generative models that computes the data labels in a fraction of total computation time. We compare the proposed technique with other distance based and kernel based classifiers to show how computationally efficient the Fisher kernels are. To the best of our knowledge, Fisher kernel has not been drawn from the RBM before, so the work presented in the thesis is novel in terms of its idea and application to vision problem

History of Islamic economic thought ::contributions of Muslim scholars to economic thought and analysis /
No full textThis unique book highlights the contributions made by Muslim scholars to economic thought throughout history, a topic that has received relatively little attention in mainstream economics. Abdul Azim Islahi discusses various ways in which Muslim ideas reached the European West, influencing scholars and helping to form the foundations of modern economic ideas and theories. Early chapters outline the foundations of Islamic economic thought and describe three distinct phases of its development over time. The author then identifies key theories and tenets of modern economics - including value; market and pricing; production and distribution; money and interest; and the economic role of the state - and explores the influence of Muslim scholarly thought on each. The concluding chapter highlights the importance of further exploration of the topic and offers insightful recommendations for future research. This fascinating book will be of great interest to students and scholars of both the history of economic thought and Islamic economics
