The authors also argue that most of them were trained for too short a time. They built two new Arabic models with the same recipe: JABER, a 12-layer base model, and SABER, a 24-layer large model. 2. **[Revisiting Pre-trained Language Models and their Evaluation for Arabic Natural Language Understanding](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ghaddar-2022-revisiting-pre-trained-language-models-their/)** *(2022 · 9 citations)* The authors argue that Arabic pre-trained language models have not kept pace with English and Chinese for two reasons: pre-training recipes have barely been tuned, and evaluation is rarely systematic or reproducible. ## Also in our library 1 more work of theirs is in our library without a page here yet; it will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Abbas Ghaddar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abbas-ghaddar/) ×2 - [Baoxing Huai](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/baoxing-huai/) ×2 - [Chao Xing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chao-xing/) ×2 - [Duan Xinyu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/duan-xinyu/) ×2 - [Khalil Bibi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/khalil-bibi/) ×2 - [Mehdi Rezagholizadeh](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mehdi-rezagholizadeh/) ×2 - [Xin Jiang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-jiang/) ×2 - [Yasheng Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yasheng-wang/) ×2 - [Yimeng Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yimeng-wu/) ×2 - [Zhefeng Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhefeng-wang/) ×2 - [Qun Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qun-liu/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 24 times (of the 140,884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ahmad-rashid/cited-by/).
