IoT-Integrated Robotic System for Automated Plant Disease Detection and Environmental Monitoring

Scientific Reports (Springer Nature)·Co-author & Embedded AI Architect

Abstract

Precision agriculture demands real-time, in-situ pathological screening without human fatigue. We developed a solar-powered, autonomous mobile robot capable of navigating agricultural rows, capturing high-resolution plant imagery, running localized deep-learning disease classification models on the edge, and streaming continuous environmental telemetry (soil moisture, temperature, ambient humidity) to a synchronized cloud dashboard with automated alert triggers.

Key Technical Contributions

  • ◆Engineered autonomous row navigation and solar energy harvesting system for prolonged field deployment.
  • ◆Integrated edge deep learning vision models for leaf pathology detection with instant on-device inference.
  • ◆Synchronized real-time environmental telemetry (soil, temperature, humidity) with cloud alerts to dispatch preventative actions before disease propagation.

Arabic Abstractive Text Summarization Using Multilingual T5

2024 6th International Conference on Computing and Informatics (ICCI)·Lead Author & AI Researcher

Abstract

Abstractive summarization in Arabic is historically hindered by morphological complexity, rich root-pattern systems, and dialetical variations. In this study, we fine-tuned Multilingual Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer (mT5) architectures on diverse Arabic textual corpora, implementing customized sub-word tokenization and length penalty schedules. Systematic evaluation demonstrated substantial improvements in ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L metrics over traditional sequence-to-sequence recurrent and transformer baselines.

Key Technical Contributions

  • ◆Fine-tuned pre-trained Multilingual T5 (mT5) models specifically optimized for complex Arabic grammatical syntax.
  • ◆Evaluated generation quality on multiple benchmark Arabic datasets using standardized ROUGE-1/2/L and human coherence assessments.
  • ◆Demonstrated statistically significant gains in semantic fidelity and fluency compared to standard seq2seq models.

A Comparative Study: Word Frequency, K-Means, and PageRank for Arabic Extractive Text Summarization

2024 International Mobile, Intelligent, and Ubiquitous Computing Conference (MIUCC)·Co-author & Data Scientist

Abstract

Extractive summarization approaches provide interpretable, low-latency document condensation for resource-constrained systems. This paper conducts a rigorous comparative analysis between three foundational paradigms: statistical word frequency weighting, centroid-based K-Means sentence clustering, and graph-centrality PageRank (LexRank/TextRank adaptations) on Arabic news corpora. We report trade-offs in computational latency, sentence diversity, redundancy elimination, and semantic coverage.

Key Technical Contributions

  • ◆Systematically benchmarked frequency-based, cluster-based (K-Means), and graph-centrality (PageRank) extractive summarizers.
  • ◆Quantified inference time, memory footprint, and ROUGE score distributions across varied Arabic article lengths.
  • ◆Provided an empirical selection guideline for low-compute production environments requiring real-time document digests.
