Multilingual models such as mBERT and XLM-R handle it poorly, are expensive at inference, and lack enough native social-media and dialect data. The existing Arabic model AraBERT also has limited data diversity, dialect support and evaluation… 2. **[AraT5: Text-to-Text Transformers for Arabic Language Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nagoudi-2022-arat5-text-text-transformers-arabic/)** *(2022 · 201 citations)* Multilingual encoder-decoder models such as mT5 cover Arabic, but it was unclear how well they handle the language's many dialects. There was also no Arabic sequence-to-sequence model and no shared benchmark for Arabic text generation. The authors address both gaps. 3. **[On the Robustness of Arabic Speech Dialect Identification](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sullivan-2023-robustness-arabic-speech-dialect-identification/)** *(2023 · 18 citations)* Arabic dialect identification (ADI) systems often act as filters in large web-scale pipelines that gather speech for training ASR. 4. **[Arabic Tweet-Act: Speech Act Recognition for Arabic Asynchronous Conversations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/algotiml-2019-arabic-tweet-act-speech-act/)** *(2019 · 18 citations)* This paper presents what the authors describe as the first reported experiments on speech act recognition for Arabic asynchronous conversations, specifically tweets. 5. **[AlexandriaX 2026: The First Shared Task on Dialectal Arabic Machine Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mekki-2026-alexandriax-2026-first-shared-task/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* AlexandriaX 2026 is a shared task on machine translation for Arabic dialects. Most Arabic tools were built for MSA. Dialect output can keep the meaning and still sound wrong, for example through incorrect gender agreement, the wrong level of formality, or MSA slipping in. Aggregate metrics also say little about why… 6. **[Bulbul: A Dataset for Dialectal Arabic Speech Recognition](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ashraf-2026-bulbul-dataset-dialectal-arabic-speech/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Arabic speech recognition struggles because speech resources are scarce and skewed toward a few varieties: MSA, Egyptian, broad Levantine, Gulf and Moroccan. ## Also in our library 27 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 12 of 14 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Muhammad Abdul-Mageed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muhammad-abdul-mageed/) ×5 - [El Moatez Billah Nagoudi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/el-moatez-billah-nagoudi/) ×2 - [Saad Ezzini](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/saad-ezzini/) ×2 - [Abdellah El Mekki](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abdellah-el-mekki/) - [Aisha Alansari](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aisha-alansari/) - [Bernard Ghanem](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bernard-ghanem/) - [Dania Refai](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dania-refai/) - [Maged S.
