(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba; Belkadi, Widad Hassina; Cakar, Tuna; Abdelhamid, Zakaria; Bensemmane, Riad Yacine
This study presents a methodology for generating highresolution digital soil maps by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with geospatial technologies. The research begins with comprehensive data collection and the extraction of relevant soil properties with the help of generative AI. To improve predictive accuracy, ensemble learning algorithms were employed due to their ability to capture complex relationships within soil characteristics. Additionally, a structured preprocessing pipeline was developed to refine and standardize the collected soil data, ensuring its suitability for modeling. The model's performance was evaluated using spatial cross-validation techniques to identify the most effective predictive approach. To validate the proposed methodology, experiments were conducted in northern Algeria, a region characterized by diverse landscapes ranging from arid zones to fertile plains. The results demonstrate the potential of AI-driven approaches to enhance soil mapping, particularly in regions where high-quality and up-to-date soil data are limited. This study underscores the efficacy of AI and geospatial technologies in advancing precision agriculture and land management.

Fuzzy Elephant Herding Optimization and DBSCAN for Emergency Transportation: A Case Study for the 2023Turkiye Earthquake
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba
In recent times, our planet has experienced numerous natural disasters across all continents. The damage caused by these disasters has been so extensive that Emergency Medical Services (EMS) proved incapable of handling the situation. In this article, we present a novel approach for urgent disaster transport with the aim of minimizing loss of life. In this context, we are investigating the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise algorithm (DBSCAN) to cluster the large geographic zone affected by the 2023 earthquake in Turkiye. The clustering is done based on hospitals' capacity on one hand and damages on the other hand. The ambulance dispatching task is then tackled using a new fuzzy version of Elephant Herding Optimization called FEHO. This approach addresses the challenge of dispatching ambulances to cover emergency locations effectively and optimally in the clustered regions. Experiments conducted on real data demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in managing emergency transportation and highlight its potential to minimize the number of casualties.
Methane Emissions Forecasting Using Hybrid Quantum-Classical Deep Learning Models: Case Study of North Africa
(Springer, 2025) Belkadi, Widad Hassina; Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba; Ferkous, Sarah; Khemissi, Maroua
This study explores climate change by predicting methane emissions in North Africa using classical and quantum deep learning methods. Using data from Sentinel-5P, we developed hybrid quantum-classical models, such as quantum long short-term memory (QLSTM) and quantum-gated recurrent unit networks (QGRUs), along with a novel hybrid architecture combining quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) with LSTM and GRU, namely QCNN-LSTM and QCNN-GRU. The results show that these quantum models, especially the proposed hybrid architectures, outperform classical models by approximately seven percent in root-mean-squared error with fewer training epochs. These findings highlight the potential of quantum methodologies for enhancing environmental monitoring accuracy. Future research will aim to refine model performance, incorporate explainable AI techniques, and expand to forecasting other greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.
Quantum FP-Growth Algorithm Using GPU Simulation-Application to Digital Soil Mapping
(Elsevier, 2026) Belkadi, Widad Hassina; Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba
This study introduces a novel quantum version of the FP-growth algorithm for frequent itemset mining, leveraging the combined strengths of classical FP-growth and quantum machine learning. Key contributions include the theoretical and practical framework for Quantum FP-growth, along with a comprehensive analysis of its time and space complexity. We implemented Quantum FP-growth using IBM Qiskit and conducted a comparative evaluation of various quantum amplitude estimation (QAE) methods, including Canonical QAE, Faster QAE, Maximum Likelihood QAE, and Iterative QAE for support estimation. Our findings reveal that Iterative QAE surpasses the other methods in both accuracy and speed. Additionally, we explored the advantages of GPU simulation with IBM Qiskit and NVIDIA cuQuantum. Notably, this research marks the first application of a quantum frequent itemset mining algorithm to a real-world dataset in Digital Soil Mapping (DSM), pioneering the use of quantum technologies in soil science. This study underscores the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize data mining and promote sustainable soil management practices.

Quantum Fp-Growth for Association Rules Mining
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Belkadi, Widad Hassina; Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba
Quantum computing, based on quantum mechanics, promises revolutionary computational power by exploiting quantum states. It provides significant advantages over classical computing regarding time complexity, enabling faster and more efficient problem-solving. This paper explores the application of quantum computing in frequent itemset mining and association rules mining, a crucial task in data mining and pattern recognition. We propose a novel algorithm called Quantum FP-Growth (QFP-Growth) for mining frequent itemsets. The QFP-Growth algorithm follows the traditional FP-Growth approach, constructing a QF-list, then the QFP-tree, a quantum radix tree, to efficiently mine frequent itemsets from large datasets. We present a detailed analysis of each step in the QFP-Growth algorithm, providing insights into its time complexity and computational efficiency. Our algorithm outperforms classical FP-Growth with a quadratic improvement in error dependence, showcasing the power of quantum algorithms in data mining. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we conducted experiments using the IBM QASM simulator, qiskit. The results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our QFP-Growth algorithm in mining frequent itemsets from a transactional database.
Secure Information Foraging Using Fully Homomorphic Encryption and Agnes Clustering
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba; Çakar, Tuna; Tiloult, Aya
In the ever-expanding landscape of social media, users struggle with navigating an overwhelming volume of information. This research introduces an innovative approach to Information Foraging by incorporating data encryption as a core component-a novel perspective never before explored in this context. The goal is to fortify the confidentiality and integrity of users’ critical data, setting a standard for safeguarding information from external threats. Within this work, we employ Fully Homomorphic Encryption in conjunction with AGNES clustering. While Fully Homomorphic Encryption ensures robust data protection, the model’s efficiency is guaranteed through a hierarchical clustering structure facilitated by AGNES. The evaluation was carried out on a dataset encompassing over 900,000 posts obtained from the social network X, covering a diverse array of topics. The results underscore the model’s competence in efficiently and securely identifying relevant information while upholding users’ privacy. Furthermore, a comparative analysis with existing approaches from the literature highlights the superiority of our proposal, establishing a new frontier in the integration of data encryption within the Information Foraging paradigm. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
