    Exploring the impact of SEO-based ranking factors for voice queries through machine learning

    No full text
    The use of voice search is proliferating and expected to grow into the foreseeable future; this is why websites increasingly optimize their content associated with voice-based search to improve their ranking. In this era of rapid growth in voice search technology, it is a topical matter that needs research. Moreover, many predictions about its future excite the subject and require systematic investigation. This research aims to analyze important features that contribute to the SEO of webpages. Therefore, there is a need to examine various ranking factors that improve the ranking of the webpages for voice search queries on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). This study consists of two phases. The frst phase comprises systematic data acquisition and identifying important SEO-based ranking factors. The second phase includes a longitudinal case study to evaluate the impact and signifcance of identifed factors. To achieve this goal, we conduct experiments on methodical combinations of features through machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes Classifer, K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees and Random Forest. Comparing results for multiple feature designs evaluates the contributing nature of specifc features in SEO-based optimization for ranking. Results suggest the importance of the newly identifed feature set (FF) outperforms baselines (EF and EFN) by a signifcant margin. A longitudinal case study on a blog over four months confrms that optimizing these features improves page ranking; therefore, webmasters must optimize these features while preparing the webpage

    The Life of Hedonism from the Perspective of Al-Tabari and Sayyid Muhammad Rashid Rida (Comparative Study of Tafsir Surah Ali Imran: 14)

    No full text
    The Qur'an not only tells us about prohibitions and commands, but also talks about the problems of the lives of previous people. Among them are illustrated by the human lifestyle that prioritizes pleasure and physical luxury. Based on the hedonistic lifestyle, it certainly has 'ibrah that can be learned if an in-depth study of the life of hedonism is carried out. The author wants to examine the life of hedonism from the perspective of al-Tabari and Sayyid Muhammad Rasyid Rida. This paper uses a qualitative approach that is classified into library research with library materials, especially Jami' al-Bayan fi Ta'wil Ayi al-Qur'an and Tafsir al-Manar and uses comparative data analysis. The conclusion in this paper is that the life of hedonism according to al-Tabari and Sayyid Muhammad Rasyid Rida is an excessive human lifestyle and indulges in lust in reaching the pleasures of the world. The similarities and differences according to these two mufassirs are almost the same in interpreting the life of hedonism in surah Ali Imran verse 14 that Allah SWT makes beautiful in human views of the pleasures of the world, namely women, children, large assets of gold and silver, selected horses, livestock and rice fields. Sayyid Muhammad Rasyid Rida besides agreeing with Imam al-Tabari, he added that human love for the beauty and pleasure of the world is not only specific to the Jews, but is general

    Developing domain-specific mashup tools for end users

    No full text
    The recent emergence of mashup tools has refueled research on end user development, i.e., on enabling end users without programming skills to compose own applications. Yet, similar to what happened with analogous promises in web service composition and business process management, research has mostly focused on technology and, as a consequence, has failed its objective. Plain technology (e.g., SOAP/WSDL web services) or simple modeling languages (e.g., Yahoo! Pipes) don't convey enough meaning to non-programmers. We propose a domain-specific approach to mashups that "speaks the language of the user", i.e., that is aware of the terminology, concepts, rules, and conventions (the domain) the user is comfortable with. We show what developing a domain-specific mashup tool means, which role the mashup meta-model and the domain model play and how these can be merged into a domain-specific mashup meta-model. We apply the approach implementing a mashup tool for the research evaluation domain. Our user study confirms that domain-specific mashup tools indeed lower the entry barrier to mashup development.

    The Second Chapter of a Volume

    No full text
    This is a handwritten copy by one of the followers of Al Hajj Umar Taal. It is a copy of a book originally written by Muhammad bun Muhammad bun Al-Masrī. The place of writing is not mentioned. The manuscript is the second volume of a previous volume. The content of the manuscript is diverse. It discusses two types of love. Part one covers love of the truth (haqiqa) towards God's creation. Transcendental truth. Part two is the love for the loved one (Muhammad or another person) and love for women in the Islamic religious sense. Part 3 discusses the importance of spreading the Qur'anic speech towards converting people. Part 4 deals with the ways to differentiate a clean soul ('ruuhu laabdo'). In part four's discussion, the author pulls from the Qur'an and Hadith. Part 5 deals with how to remove confusion and to establish truth. Part 6 teaches life lessons inspired from Islam's model women such as Fatimah bint Rasoul, Mariam bint Imran, Assietu binti Muzahim, Khadija, and Aicha.Il s'agit d'une copie manuscrite d'un des disciples d'Al Hajj Umar Taal. Il s'agit d'une copie d'un livre écrit à l'origine par Muhammad bun Muhammad bun Al-Masrī. Le lieu d'écriture n'est pas mentionné. Le manuscrit est le deuxième volume d'un volume précédent.

La deuxième partie est l'amour pour l'être cher (Muhammad ou une autre personne) et l'amour pour les femmes au sens religieux islamique. La partie 3 discute de l'importance de diffuser le discours coranique pour convertir les gens. La quatrième partie traite des moyens de différencier une âme propre («ruuhu laabdo»). Dans la discussion de la quatrième partie, l'auteur s'inspire du Coran et du Hadith. La partie 5 traite de la façon d'éliminer la confusion et d'établir la vérité.

    A Non-blind Color Image Watermarking Scheme Resistent Against Geometric Attacks

    No full text
    A non-blind color image watermarking scheme using principle component analysis, discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition is proposed. The color components are uncorrelated using principle component analysis. The watermark is embedded into the singular values of discrete wavelet transformed sub-band associated with principle component containing most of the color information. The scheme was tested against various attacks (including histogram equalization, rotation, Gaussian noise, scaling, cropping, Y-shearing, X-shearing, median filtering, affine transformation, translation, salt & pepper, sharpening), to check robustness. The results of proposed scheme are compared with state-of-the-art existing color watermarking schemes using normalized correlation coefficient and peak signal to noise ratio. The simulation results show that proposed scheme is robust and imperceptible
