First it restores the vowels of the word core (the word without its case ending): a word-level bigram model with a Viterbi decoder, backed off to stem dictionaries, stem templates derived from roots (computed with Farasa), a transliteration-mined model for foreign names (a… 2. **[A Neural Architecture for Dialectal Arabic Segmentation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aclbulk-2017-samih-neural-architecture-dialectal-arabic-segmentation/)** *(2017)* Egyptian Arabic in tweets has no standard spelling and few annotated resources, and the clitics attached to its verbs are missed by MSA tools. 3. **[Challenging Language-Dependent Segmentation for Arabic: An Application to Machine Translation and Part-of-Speech Tagging](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aclbulk-2017-sajjad-challenging-language-dependent-segmentation-arabic/)** *(2017)* The paper asks whether Arabic can be segmented without a language-specific morphological tool such as MADAMIRA or Farasa. 4. **[Arabic Multi-Dialect Segmentation: bi-LSTM-CRF vs. SVM](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/langstream-2017-eldesouki-arabic-multi-dialect-segmentation-bi/)** *(2017)* The paper segments four Arabic dialects (Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, Maghrebi) from raw Twitter text. Only about 350 manually segmented tweets per dialect are used for training, with 5-fold cross-validation and a 70/10/20 split. Two approaches are compared. An SVM ranker generates all segmentations of a word from a… 5. **[Farasa: A Fast and Furious Segmenter for Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aclbulk-2016-abdelali-farasa-fast-furious-segmenter-arabic/)** *(2016)* Farasa splits an Arabic word into prefixes, stem and suffixes. Every character-level split that uses a legal prefix and suffix sequence is generated, and a linear SVM-rank model scores the candidates. The features are stem and affix likelihoods, lexicon membership (a list of valid stems, a gazetteer of names, a list… 6. **[Using Stem-Templates to Improve Arabic POS and Gender/Number Tagging](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lingbulk-2014-darwish-stem-templates-improve-arabic-pos/)** *(2014)* The paper builds an end-to-end Arabic pipeline: correction of common spelling confusions (alef forms, ta marbuta and ha, alef maqsura and ya), character-level segmentation with a CRF, POS tagging with a CRF, and gender and number tagging for nouns and adjectives. ## Co-authors (12) - [Hamdy Mubarak](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hamdy-mubarak/) ×5 - [Kareem Darwish](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kareem-darwish/) ×5 - [Mohamed Eldesouki](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mohamed-eldesouki/) ×2 - [Mohammed Attia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mohammed-attia/) ×2 - [Nadir Durrani](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nadir-durrani/) ×2 - [Younes Samih](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/younes-samih/) ×2 - Fahim Dalvi - Hassan Sajjad - Kallmeyer Laura - Laura Kallmeyer - [Stephan Vogel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/stephan-vogel/) - [Yonatan Belinkov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yonatan-belinkov/) ## More papers in the library (3) Pages of the Research library: our summary, the ideas, references and who cites each. - [LAraBench: Benchmarking Arabic AI with Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abdelali-2024-larabench-benchmarking-arabic-ai-large/) — Ahmed Abdelali, Hamdy Mubarak, Shammur Absar Chowdhury, et al. · 2024 - [Pre-Training BERT on Arabic Tweets: Practical Considerations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abdelali-2021-pre-training-bert-arabic-tweets/) — Ahmed Abdelali, Sabit Hassan, Hamdy Mubarak, et al. · 2021 - [The AMARA Corpus: Building Parallel Language Resources for the Educational Domain](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abdelali-2014-amara-corpus-building-parallel-language/) — Ahmed Abdelali, Francisco Guzman, Hassan Sajjad, et al. · 2014
