QU at TREC .. A Success Story
By Dr. Tamer Elsayed
All participating teams in TREC over 25 years. Only
two teams from Qatar; QU is one of them
When the Text REtrieval Conference (TREC),
that is being held every year in the US since
1992, had its twenty-second version in 2013,
Qatar University made its first appearance in
the history of the prestigious conference.
Research teams from all over the world
(including top academic and industrial
institutes) participate and compete in solving
common research problems in the field of
information retrieval. Since then, we (a
research group at Computer Science and
Engineering Department including
undergraduate, MSc, and PhD students)
realized that TREC is a great opportunity to
build our starting team, work on real and hot
problems in the field, and easily benchmark
our work. With very few participating teams
from the Arab and the Muslim world, we
were encouraged to continue to appear there
over the years. While participation with
world-class teams always provides a great
learning experience (especially for new
groups), “competing” with them is obviously
very challenging.
Over four years of participation, our
team has gained invaluable
experience, built a research
infrastructure, and also achieved
promising results. Our ranking (and
experience!) kept improving, from the
6 th rank in 2013 to the 4 th in 2014 and
3 rd in 2015 in different research
problems. We were also selected
several times (among few teams) to
present our work at the conference.
This year, TREC celebrated its 25 th
anniversary and our team (including
two CSE graduate students Maram
Hasanain and Reem Suwaileh) has
reached a historical rank in one of the
organized research problems; we were
ranked first among 19 research teams
from USA, Canada, France, Australia,
China, India, and Hong Kong. This is
the first time ever for a team from the
Arab and Muslim world to reach this
place, making a history for our team,
for our department, and for our
university.

What is TREC?
TREC is a reputable international evaluation conference in the field of Information
Retrieval (the field behind the search engines, e.g., Google) that aims at providing a
platform for evaluating retrieval systems over hot research problems in the field. The
conference is organized yearly by an American institute called NIST, and typically offers
eight to ten research tracks in which international research teams can participate. Each
track in the conference defines one or more research problems (called tasks) that are
related. This year, our team participated in two tasks in the “Real-time Summarization”
track. The goal of the track is to build a system that runs in real-time and monitors the live
stream of tweets. The user of the system describes a topic of interest (such as “Qatar
national day”) and the system notifies the user whenever a tweet that is relevant to the
given topic and contains relatively-new information about it is posted. The system pushes
those tweets to the mobile of the user whenever possible (push notification task) or sends
an email of all interesting tweets to the user at the end of the day (email digest task).
It ran continuously for 10 days given more than 50 test topics of interest. The system
output was eventually judged accurately by NIST and all participating systems were
scored. The scores were communicated earlier to the individual teams, but the rankings
were only announced at the conference, which was held from Nov 15 to Nov 18 at
Maryland, USA. Our team adopted a simple yet scalable and effective approach to solve
the problem and got the best results among the results of all automatic systems that
participated in the first task. Our system was very conservative in pushing interesting
tweets, which we believe was a major factor in improving the performance.
QU Team
Over the four years, our
research group participated in
two different tracks and five
different tasks. The teams
included 5 MSc students
(Latifa Al-Marri, Maram
Hasanain, Reem Suwaileh,
Rahma Ali, and Abdelrahman
Shouman), 2 PhD students
(Maram Hasanain and Rana
Malhas), and a PostDoc (Dr.
Marwan Torki). All students
are CSE students. This year,
our team who was ranked
first consisted of two CSE
graduate students: Maram
Hasanain and Reem Suwaileh.
Maram Hasanain is a secondyear
Computer Science PhD
student. She got her BSc
degree in Computer
Engineering in 2012 with the
first rank in the department,
and got her MSc in
Computing degree in 2014
with Distinction (as the first
student in the history of the
College of Engineering to get
her thesis accepted without
modifications). She has been
selected among only 80 firstyear
PhD students
worldwide to attend the
Microsoft Research summer
school at Cambridge, UK in
2015. She also got the best
paper award in AIRS 2015
conference and was a
Dr. Tamer El-Sayed
Eng. Maram Hasanain

permanent member of our TREC team since 2013. Maram has
published more than 10 research papers in reputable conferences in
the field. She is currently a research assistant working on an NPRP
project funded by QNRF. Reem Suwaileh is a second-year MSc in
Computing student. She got her BSc degree in Computer Science in
2014. She is a member of our TREC team since 2015 and has
published two conference papers in reputable conferences in the
field. . Reem is currently a research assistant working on an NPRP
project funded by QNRF.
Maram is currently working on preparing her
PhD thesis proposal. While she is not yet
settled on the specific research problem, she
thinks that the work she did for TREC will
surely help her shape the idea of her PhD
dissertation. She said that “it was a great
honor to participate in a world class
competition like TREC. It helped me learn
how to work under pressure and as an active
player in a software development team. I got
to interact with world-class researchers from
around the world, which provided an
excellent source of ideas. I also got encouraged
to get my hands dirty and attempt to develop
systems from scratch to solve different
problems while also providing me with the
data and tools to evaluate the systems and
improve them. Eventually, systems I
developed were the core for my MSc thesis
work. As I participated in TREC for 4 years, I
managed to work on several information
retrieval problems which broadened my
understanding of my field and my own
interests in problems from the field. My
experience with TREC made me realize that
many graduate students can benefit from such
setting. It can help them get hands-on
experience in working on problems from their
field. Moreover, a conference like TREC allows
us, graduate students, to get such experience
while providing enough motivation (by its
design as a competition) to compete at a
world-class level. As a PhD student, I think
that we should not be discouraged to work on
different problems
in our fields, as this can be a great source of
ideas and a great way to improve our
system development and research skills.”
On the contrary, Reem has made her mind
already and will continue working on realtime
summarization as her MSc thesis
topic. She is currently conducting more
experiments and planning to start writing
her thesis early next semester. She said that
“we wanted to prove to ourselves that, if
we are dedicated to our goals, we are
capable of achieving the best results in the
top evaluation conference in the field. That
was the major benefit of our participation
in such prestigious venue. We actually lose
nothing by participating but we gain a lot,
as TREC provides us the opportunity, not
only to challenge ourselves to solve real
problems and test our ideas on a ready
testbed but also to compare our solutions
with the solutions of the pioneers in the
field. Additionally, participation in TREC
helped me explore the field and its focused
areas, which benefited me in determining
the interest and area of my thesis work.
Most importantly, I realized that
“simplicity” always wins;
participating in a highclass
competition does not
always require fancy or
complex ideas, but using
the intuition we gain out
of experiments can lead to
surprisingly-good
solutions.”

Making a Difference!
By our continuous
participation through the
years, we have managed to
make the name of our
university known and visible
among the participants, and
(and more importantly)
showed a high quality of
work as well. This year, the
conference celebrated its 25 th
anniversary by inviting the
top information retrieval
researchers in the world to
come together and discuss
what the conference achieved
in the past and how they
would like it to be in the
future. Due to our excellent
work, we have been invited
once more to give a
presentation and discuss our
work, which was a great
honor in front of a group of
world-class researchers.
Dr. Tamer Elsayed presenting QU’s work at TREC 2016.
I’m very proud of my students who proved that they can compete at the world level, not just
the local or regional levels. One interesting point about our team is that the actual work that
the team has developed was conducted during the summer. The team (including me)
worked very hard during the summer (without a break even through Eid El-Adha!) to
submit the system results to the conference on time, sacrificing many things for the sake of
respectful representation of their university and nation. We are proud to build one of the
“state-of-the-art” systems that we used to just talk about in our research papers; now we can
claim that it is ours. While the research skills, teamwork experience, field knowledge,
international-level competition mentality that the students gain during the participation are
invaluable, the system that they built is indeed considered a major step towards their
degrees. In addition to that, they set the expectations very high, not just for themselves or
their research group, but also for their fellow graduate students who will surely gain more
confidence in their potential capabilities now than ever.

CSE DEPT. ACHIEVEMENTS
Following the organization of the 12th IFIP
International Conference on Product Lifecycle
Management in Doha in Nov. 2015, Dr. Abdelaziz
Bouras and Dr. Sebti Foufou co-edited a book
published by Springer (Advances in Information and
Communication Technology Series), titled the
“Product Lifecycle Management in the Era of
Internet of Things”. A total of 130 revised papers
were submitted for review and inclusion in the
book. Accepted papers covered the following topical
sections: smart products, assessment approaches,
PLM maturity, building information modeling
(BIM), languages and ontologies, product service
systems, future factory, knowledge creation and
management, simulation and virtual environments,
sustainability and systems improvement,
configuration and engineering change, education
studies, cyber-physical and smart systems, design
and integration issues, and PLM processes and
applications.
The PLM15 conference itself was opened by HE Dr. Mohammed Saleh Abdulla Al Sada
Minister of Energy and Industry. It comprised tutorials on Data Cleaning and Machine
Learning, a PhD workshop, Keynote talks, two days of scientific sessions with the
participation of researchers from 26 countries, an industry day and a visit to the Khalifa
international stadium. PLM16 was recently held in Columbia, South Carolina (USA). The
next edition of the conference will be held in Sevilla, Spain in July 2017.

CSE member, Dr. Abdelaziz Bouras, is the current Chair of the IFIP Working Group
WG5.1 on advanced lifecycle management technologies and systems. He answered few
of our questions related to IFIP and his WG.
What is IFIP?
IFIP, the International Federation of Information
Processing, is a leading multinational, apolitical
organization in Information & Communications
Technologies and Sciences. IFIP is recognized by United
Nations and other world bodies and has a formal
consultative partnership with UNESCO. It represents IT
Societies from around 60 countries or regions, with a total
membership of over half a million and links more than
3500 scientists from Academia and Industry. Formally
IFIP is organized in about 100 Working Groups (WGs)
reporting to 13 Technical Committees (TCs). TCs and
WGs contribute to, and often lead, progress in the stateof-the
art knowledge and practice.
What are the activities of the
WG5.1?
IFIP’s forums and
conferences providing
unparalleled coverage from
theoretical informatics to the
relationship between
informatics and society
including hardware and
software technologies, and
networked information
systems. As all the IFIP
groups, the WG5.1 is making
efforts to narrow the gap
between the theoretical
research in its fields and their
applications in the industry
and society fields. We have
researchers and industrialists
from more than 40 countries
and we organize several
activities, such as an
International Conference with
strong Academia-Industry
exchange and an International
Journal.
What is your role as Chair of the WG?
As Chair of the group, I am constantly looking for innovative ways to enhance such
relationship, such as the creation of two Special Interest Groups, one on IT maturity levels
and one on PLM to BIM (Building Management Modeling) knowledge transfer. I am
currently working with the members of the group to attract more women and students from
emerging countries to the group activities and to enhance the public/private research
collaboration in our WG field. We have a strong international network, and to motivate
young researchers, we provide every year two IFIP Awards, one for the best research study
and another one for the best student proposal.

Cyber security is a very hot topic all over the world and news about cyber-threats, cyberattacks,
cyber-fraud, cyber-espionage and even cyber-warfare cases are highlighted every
day in the news. Here is an example in the very recent news. Cyber-security has also been
identified as one of the grand challenges in the Qatar National Research Strategy.
This workshop provided a simple introduction to cyber-security as this topic is of interest to
anybody owning a digital device (which means everybody in Qatar) and not only to experts.
The workshop was designed for any curious student from any background who is interested
in understanding better the risks that we face in a digital world.
The workshop consisted of two sessions of
lectures and lab practice, that would provide
the students with the tools to participate in the
contest to win big prizes. The workshops were
given by Dr. Abdullatif Shikfa and Dr. Gabriele
Oligeri.
Many students participated in the contest, the
workshops were held on Nov. 26 th 2016 and
Dec. 3 rd 2016 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. The
students had good feedback about the
workshops. One of them said:” I liked the
workshop very much. It is very interesting and
organized. Also it allowed us to understand
more about the security field and security
attacks”, and another student recommend this
workshop saying: “ The workshop was
beneficial, especially for those who are
interested in security topic. Generally, the
workshop’s timing was suitable and very
organized. I personally recommend it”

UK-Qatar Cyber Security
Workshop on Adaptive
Information Security
UK-Qatar cyber security workshop on adaptive information security held on October
24, 2016 at Qatar University. This workshop brought together researchers, educators
and industry partners to identify opportunities for collaboration and sharing
experiences about cyber security research. The workshop is facilitated by researchers
from UK, UAE and Qatar, in partnership with QNRF, the Open University (UK), the
KINDI Computing Research Center at Qatar University and the department of
Computer Science and Engineering.
The workshop is a result of a research grant awarded by the Qatar National Research
Fund (QNRF). In Qatar, the project was led by Dr. Khaled Khan, the department of
Computer Science and Engineering (QU). The main objective of this NPRP project was
to develop a technique that could elicit and relate information security requirements to
design and implementation of software systems which are able to adapt to
dynamically changing contexts whilst maintaining security of the system. Because the
protection of information assets from attacks is a critical goal of information security.
In software systems with highly dynamic social and technological contexts, such as
cloud applications and services, ensuring information security is a challenging issue.
From a software engineering perspective, these challenges include the identification of
information assets, threat scenarios, potential attacks and vulnerabilities, and the
extent to which security requirements can be enforced [1].

App. of the issue: Want to
check for Anemia without
pinching your skin?
HemaApp is your answer.
Haya Al-Nuaimi,
ha1402885@qu.edu.qa
HemaApp is an application which uses the
smartphone camera to estimate hemoglobin
concentration in the blood. By sparkling
light from the smartphone’s camera which
streaks through the patient's finger. The
HemaApp uses algorithms that study the
color of a patient blood, then examines the
shade of his or her blood to approximate the
hemoglobin intensity. The portable
application is not expected to supplant
blood tests, which continue to be the most
precise approach to quantify hemoglobin. In
some case, the early test comes about,
recommend HemaApp can be a viable and
reasonable introductory screening
apparatus to figure out if promote blood
testing is demanded. Off course, this will be
significant for people who have Anemia.
Anemia is a most widely standout
recognized issues influencing grown-ups
and kids around the world.
Who said that only way to check your
hemoglobin level is by taking blood out of you?
The technology we are having now have made
an evolution in the medical region. Since in the
University of Washington, a group of electrical
engineers and computer scientists developed
HemaApp.
In all cases, Doctors are occupied with
measuring hemoglobin. To acquire this
fundamental estimation, medicinal services
suppliers either need to draw blood with a
needle or intravenous line or burn through
hundreds of dollars on a particular machine
that determines hemoglobin level. This
application can save us money and time,
which are the most vital things nowadays.
HemaApp is an example of how technology
can improve Medical sector.

For all of you technology enthusiasts out there, or even those who have the mere interest
in knowing more about new technology, here are some tweeps you should not miss out!
Getting news about technology can be really troublesome some times, having to go
through pages and pages of articles or watching hours of conferences. An easier alternative
would be those two twitter feeds that are all run by individuals. Since most of us have
twitter accounts and check them daily, those accounts can give you all the latest news about
the new gadgets or even tiny hacks to enjoy what you already have.
@qatnology
If you are a technology geek that lives in Qatar, you definitely
know that the moment something happens with technology
around the area, everyone will be tweeting to @qatnology
asking about it!
The twitter account has been running for almost two years
and almost 90% of the tweets are those related to technology
ranging from new devices, to new simple changes made in
apps or programs and even information that gamers would
be interested on.
If you have any tech issues or want feedback on gadgets or
technology, or if you are encountering an issue that you think
Vodafone or Ooredoo is the cause, feel free to message or
mention @qatnology with your concern.
Even though the account is running in Arabic, nonetheless, it is extremely helpful and can
put pages and pages of reports in less than 140 words. The account started running 2 years
ago and definitely the account owners know how to get the followers attention! Not to
forget that the account is based in Qatar which makes it even more relatable to us.

To err is human - and to
blame it on a computer
