The task is to identify which of 21 Arab countries a tweet comes from, in two subtasks: tweets in Modern Standard Arabic (subtask 1.1) and tweets in dialectal Arabic (subtask 1.2). The authors build a classical pipeline. They clean the tweets… 3. **[USTHB at NADI 2023 shared task: Exploring Preprocessing and Feature Engineering Strategies for Arabic Dialect Identification](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lichouri-2023-usthb-nadi-2023-shared-task/)** *(2023 · 4 citations)* The supplied text does not match the title.
