Rate My Professor Abdelhamid Djeffal

Professor Abdelhamid Djeffal is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Université Mohamed Khider de Biskra, Algeria. He obtained his Baccalauréat in mathematics-technical option in 1991, Ingénieur d’État en Informatique from Institut National d’Informatique, Algiers in 1997 with a thesis on host mobility in distributed systems, Magister en Informatique specializing in artificial intelligence and images from Université de Biskra in 2004 with a focus on video image compression by motion estimation, Doctorat en sciences de l’informatique in 2012 on the use of SVM techniques in database analysis, Habilitation Universitaire en Informatique in 2016, and was promoted to the rank of Professor in 2021. His professional career includes roles as Maître Assistant from 2007 to 2012, Maître de Conférences from 2012, and various leadership positions such as Chef de Département Adjoint chargé de la Post-Graduation (multiple terms including 2012-2013 and 2016-2017), Responsable de la Filière Informatique (2016-2017), Head of the Computer Science Department (2018-2021), Vice-Rector in charge of Pedagogy (2021-2022), and currently Vice Rector in charge of higher education at the undergraduate and graduate levels, continued education, diplomas, and graduate training.

A member of the LESIA Laboratory, Professor Djeffal's research specializes in artificial intelligence, machine learning with emphasis on support vector machines, data mining, image processing, and computer vision. He has contributed to national CNEPRU projects on image compression, 3D hierarchical reconstruction for plant growth modeling, datamining for computer vision, and PNR project on decision tools for banking services, as well as the international TASSILI project on camera positioning for motion capture. Key publications include the book 'Les machines à vecteurs supports dans l’analyse des bases de données' (2012), 'Fast Binary Support Vector Machine Learning Method by Samples Reduction' (2017, International Journal of Data Mining, Modelling and Management), 'Puzzle based system for improving Arabic handwriting recognition' (2016, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence), 'Full Body Adjustment Using Iterative Inverse Kinematic and Body Parts Correlation' (2014, Journal of Mobile Multimedia), and 'BERT-based ensemble learning for multi-aspect hate speech detection' (2023, Cluster Computing). He received the Khalifa International Prize for Palms of Dates in 2012 for his SVM-based automatic date sorting system. Professor Djeffal has also organized multiple scientific events, including the International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Information Communication Technologies (IWAIICT’2014-2015) and Séminaire National d’Informatique de Biskra (SNIB’2010-2015).
