This makes dialect-to-MSA (DA–MSA) translation an important bridge. The authors study it for Levantine, Egyptian and Gulf Arabic under low-resource, compute-limited conditions, and take two routes. 2. **[Ara-HOPE: Human-Centric Post-Editing Evaluation for Dialectal Arabic to Modern Standard Arabic Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alabdullah-2026-ara-hope-human-centric-post/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Translating Dialectal Arabic (DA) into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is closer to normalizing a variety than to translating between languages. ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chenghua Lin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenghua-lin/) ×2 - [Lifeng Han](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lifeng-han/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 10 times (of the 140 884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [4 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abdullah-alabdullah/cited-by/).
