LECTURE

​

مما لاشك فيه أن مسيرة البحث العلمي تحتاج إلى وجود عناصر أساسية للقيام بالبحث العلمي على أحسن ما يُرام. يأتي في طليعة تلك العناصر ضرورةُ تعريف معنى مصطلح العلم نفسه. أما أدوات البحث العلمي فنقتصر على ذكر البعض منها فقط مثل: ملاحظة الظاهرة، تحديد موضوع البحث، طرح الفرضيات، استعمال المفاهيم...وبالنسبة لأهداف البحث فهي كثيرة منها: فهمُ وتفسير أسباب الظاهرة أو موضوع البحث، القدرة على إنشاء أُطر نظرية Paradigmes، استكشاف معالم أخرى لموضوع البحث أو الظاهرة مما يؤدي إلى ابتكار رؤى ومفاهيم وحتى نظريات جديدة ذات علاقة بالظاهرة أو موضوع دراسة البحث الأمر الذي قد يؤدي إلى فهم وتفسير مختلفين أو جديدين للظاهرة أو الموضوع المدروس. ومنه يصبح الباحث يتمتع بحاسة النقد وبعيدا عن مجرد سلوك التقليد في ميادين بحوثه.

This page offers a good idea about my intellectual and academic journey in several universities in the world. I had studied respectively English, psychology and sociology in Iraq, USA and Canada. As a Visiting Professor or a Professor, I taught in the following order at universities in Canada, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Malaysia and the Sultanate of Oman.

​

My published books in English, Arabic and French are 33 books of which I am the author of 17  and I wrote one chapter in 12 others and I translated 4 books from French and English into Arabic. I have published more than 250 essays, articles and book reviews in the three languages. The main themes of my publications are six: 1- Tunisian society, 2-Arab-Islamic thought, 3- Ibn Khaldun’s thought, 4- The universe of cultural symbols, 5- The Other Underdevelopment in the Arab world, 6- Crime and deviance. There is a seventh theme which covers my intellectual activities via published essays, articles and book reviews whose themes are different from the six above. I have participated in many Tunisian, Arab and international seminars, colloquium and congresses. Finally, I was the adviser of numerous Master and doctoral theses in Tunisia and abroad. I have invented the Theory of the Human Symbols/HS which claims that Man is a Third Dimensional Being (body, soul and HS) or  a Homo Culturus as well as a number of concepts drawn from the social reality of the Arab world: the Other Underdevelopment, the Al-Mustanfira Tunisian Personality, Conspiring bilingualism in the Maghrebian societies.

In recent decades, we have assisted a change in the volume of heterogeneous data that can be very useful for companies. The problem was how to exploit this data to extract knowledge. Several techniques have been defined to respond to this problem such as: supevised or unsupervised ones, but there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve an extraxction of relevant knowledge and that allows wise decisions by decision makers. In this presentation, we present some techniques for extracting knowledge from data and show the challenges that these techniques face in a Big Data context.
