Arabic Quran Verses Authentication Using Deep Learning and Word Embeddings

[摘要] Nowadays, with the developments witnessed by the Internet, algorithms have come to control all aspects of digitalcontent. Due to its Arabic roots, it is ironic to find that Arabic Quranic content is still thirsty to benefit from computerlinguistics, especially with the advent of artificial intelligence algorithms. The massive spread of Islamic-typed websites andapplications has led to a widespread of digital Quranic content. Unfortunately, such content lacks censorship and can rarelymatch resourcefulness. It is quite difficult, especially for a non-native speaker of the Arabic language, to distinguish andauthenticate the provided Quranic verses from the non-Quranic Arabic texts. Text processing techniques classified outside thefield of Natural Language Processing (NLP) give less qualified results, especially with Arabic texts. To address this problem,we propose to explore Word Embeddings (WE) with Deep Learning (DL) techniques to identify Quranic verses in Arabictextual content. The proposed work is evaluated using twelve different word embeddings models with two popular classifiersfor binary classification, namely: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). Theexperimental results showed the superiority of the proposed approach over traditional methods in distinguishing between theQuranic verses and the Arabic text with an accuracy of 98.33%.
