Authors - Varsha Naik, Rajeswari K, Kshitij Jadhav, Aniket Rahalkar Abstract - This study examines cross-lingual natural language processing (NLP) techniques to address the challenges of developing conversational AI systems for low-resource languages. These languages often lack extensive linguistic re- sources such as large-scale corpora, annotated datasets, and language-specific tools, making it difficult to capture the linguistic distinctions and contextual meaning essential for high-quality dialogue systems. This language gap restricts accessibility and inclusivity, preventing speakers of these underrepresented languages from fully benefiting from advancements in technology. The study compares various factors that affect model performance, including transformer model architecture, cross-lingual embeddings, fine-tuning strategies, and transfer learning approaches. Despite these challenges, the research shows that cross-lingual models offer promising solutions, especially when utilizing techniques like transfer learning and multilingual pre-training. By transferring knowledge from high-resource languages, these models can compensate for the scarcity of data in low-resource languages, enabling the development of more accurate, culturally sensitive, and inclusive AI systems. The findings highlight the importance of bridging linguistic divides to foster greater language diversity, accessibility, and technological inclusivity, ultimately supporting cultural preservation and revitalization.
Authors - Elrasheed Ismail Mohommoud Zayid, Ahmad Mohammad Aldaleel, Omar Abdullah Omar Alshehri Abstract - Machine learning classifiers are the first candidate methodology that could be used to assess the digital innovation across a set of teachers. This study aims to collect, build, represent, and discuss a reliable digital innovation skills (DIS) dataset by recruiting teachers chosen from the teachers who work in Bisha Province, Saudi Arabia. The study processed a rich data sample and made it accessible and shareable for the researchers' open use. DIS assessment addressed the problems and helped design a suitable innovation training module for the local community teachers. The total dataset comprises 400 conveniently collected data points, and each data point represents a complete record of teachers among the DSTs of Bisha Province. The research fields are prepared and set as fifty questionnaire questions, which distributed across the DSTs community in the area using social networks. Each question represents a single input or output feature for the classification model. Before running the ML models, the input variables are encoded serially from F0 to F49, and based on an explanatory test performed using LazyPredictools, only the positively contributing features are used. The extensive dataset, which is kept in the Mendeley Data repository, has a great deal of possibilities for reuse in sensitivity analysis, policymaking, and additional study. The decision tree, extra tree, and extreme gradient boosting (XGB) classifiers are examples of the recruited algorithms for evaluating DISs. The authors believe that this a wealthy kind of innovative respiratory dataset with its classification features will become a valuable mining source for interested researchers.
Authors - Malgorzata Pankowska Abstract - Business information system (BIS) consultants are working on solving problems of client companies, providing them with high-quality services, helping them quickly respond to changes in their ecosystems, and to the changes initiated by new technologies. Client is usually the most important actor in the consulting process. Therefore, the consultants are to be well educated to ensure the best satisfying solutions. This study focuses on business information system analysts’ competences development to enable them participation in the consulting projects. In this study, the thematic review of literature was applied, the author’s framework of consultants’ competencies for business information system strategic analysis has been provided, and finally, the author formulate a recommendation on business analysis course for students of computer science at university. The findings indicate that both the students’ motivation, knowledge, experience, as well as a strong theoretical background and a methodological support from cooperative business units influence innovativeness and creativity of BIS consultants.
Authors - Martin Mayembe, Jackson Phiri Abstract - Religious organizations, particularly church organisations, play a significant role in the lives of many people globally. These organisations require efficient management of various operations such as management of members, finances, events, and communications to fulfil their mission effectively. Existing church management systems are often built using traditional monolithic architectures, which come with inherent challenges. These challenges include platform dependence, limited scalability, and high upfront investment, making it difficult for many church organizations to develop, maintain, and scale their systems effectively and efficiently. This method of development is often referred to as the Spaghetti model. This study explores the application of the Micro-services Architecture in Church Management Systems, with the use of a service bus to enable communication between the services, to achieve modularity and scalability. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this design, a prototype is developed, focusing on two key modules: the Church Member Management System and the Financial Management System These modules work in tandem to manage member and associated member contribution data to provide access to up-to-date vital information.
Authors - Williams A. Ayara, Adenike O. Boyo, Mustapha O. Adewusi, Razaq O. Kesinro, Mojisola R. Usikalu, Kehinde D. Oyeyemi Abstract - The search for enhancing green electricity generation and the constant increase in the price of crude oil and its products propelled the choice of this research. Hence, a photovoltaic fuel-less power generating system using locally available materials. The input and output characteristics are analyzed to determine the efficiency, and the power generated by the photovoltaic-powered fuel-less generator is used to power an external load. The photovoltaic used is oriented to face in a direction with optimum tilt for maximum yield (to face southward) of solar power. This orientation and angle of tilt were determined using the Garmin Oregon450 GPS in conjunction with a Seaward Solar Survey 200R meter. Thus, the photovoltaic fuel-less generator was successfully developed. The driving component of this power-generating system is the 1 HP Direct Current (DC) motor, powered by two (2) 250 W mono-crystalline solar panels via a 12 V battery connected to a 30 A charge controller to maintain the charge level of the battery which helps to spin the 650 W Alternating Current (AC) alternator to deliver electricity. The device efficiently delivered power by lighting three (3) incandescent bulbs and a standing fan with total power between 100 – 220 W, and an efficiency of 70 -75%. This generator is eco-friendly since it does not emit any contaminants to the environment.
Authors - Sarah Anis, Mohamed Mabrouk, Mostafa Aref Abstract - This research paper investigates the application of sentiment analysis in the fintech sector, focusing on stock market prediction through a transformer-based model, specifically FinBERT. By comparing its performance against established models like CNN, LSTM, and BERT across different datasets, the study demonstrates that FinBERT achieves superior accuracy in classifying sentiments from financial reviews. The findings emphasize the significance of specialized models tailored to specific domains for improving sentiment analysis within the financial sector, providing useful information for those involved in the fintech field.
