Metaverse is a vast term that can contain every digital thing in the future. Therefore, life domains, such as learning and education, should have their systems redirected to adopt this topic to keep their availability and longevity. Many papers have discussed the metaverse, the applications to run on, and the historical progress to have the metaverse the way it is today. However, the framework of the metaverse itself is still unclear, and its components cannot be exactly specified. Although E-Learning systems are a need that has developed over the years along with technology, the structures of the available E-Learning systems based on the metaverse are either not well described or are adopted, in their best case, as just a 3D environment. In this paper, we examine some previous works to find out the special technologies that should be provided by the metaverse framework, then we discuss the framework of the metaverse if applied as an E-Learning environment framework. This will make it easy to develop future metaverse-based applications, as the proposed framework will make the virtual learning environments work smoothly on the metaverse. In addition, E-Learning will be a more interactive and pleasant process.
Iris recognition continues to pose challenges for deep learning models, despite its status as one of the most reliable biometric authentication techniques. These challenges become more pronounced when training data is limited, as subtle, high-dimensional patterns are easily missed. To address this issue and strengthen both feature extraction and recognition accuracy, this study introduces IRIS-QResNet, a customized ResNet-18 architecture augmented with a quanvolutional layer. The quanvolutional layer simulates quantum effects such as entanglement and superposition and incorporates sinusoidal feature encoding, enabling more discriminative multilayer representations. To evaluate the model, we conducted 14 experiments on the CASIA-Thousands, IITD, MMU, and UBIris datasets, comparing the performance of the proposed IRIS-QResNet with that of the IResNet baseline. While IResNet occasionally yielded subpar accuracy, ranging from 50.00% to 98.66%, and higher loss values ranging from 0.1060 to 2.0640, comparative analyses showed that IRIS-QResNet consistently outperformed it. IRIS-QResNet achieved lower loss (ranging from 0.0570 to 1.8130), higher accuracy (ranging from 66.67% to 99.55%), and demon-started improvement margins spanning from 0.1870% in the CASIA End-to-End subject recognition with eye-side to 16.67% in the MMU End-to-End subject recognition with eye-side. Loss reductions ranged from 0.0360 in the CASIA End-to-End subject recognition without eye-side to 1.0280 in the UBIris Non-End-to-End subject recognition. Overall, the model exhibited robust generalization across recognition tasks despite the absence of data augmentation. These findings indicate that quantum-inspired modifications provide a practical and scalable approach for enhancing the discriminative capacity of residual networks, offering a promising bridge between classical deep learning and emerging quantum machine learning paradigms.
Communication tools make the world like a small village and as a consequence people can contact with others who are from different societies or who speak different languages. This communication cannot happen effectively without Machine Translation because they can be found anytime and everywhere. There are a number of studies that have developed Machine Translation for the English language with so many other languages except the Arabic it has not been considered yet. Therefore we aim to highlight a roadmap for our proposed translation machine to provide an enhanced Arabic English translation based on Semantic.
