The organizers argue that Arabic's rich morphology makes many words ambiguous, and that progress has been slow mainly because annotated data is scarce. The task had two subtasks. In Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), systems choose the right… 2. **[ImageEval 2025: The First Arabic Image Captioning Shared Task](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bashiti-2025-imageeval-2025-first-arabic-image/)** *(2025 · 13 citations)* ImageEval 2025 is the first shared task built around generating Arabic captions for images. Arabic multimodal work has been held back by a lack of native caption data, and most existing sets are translated from English, which loses cultural detail. The organizers addressed this with two linked subtasks. The first was… 3. **[Event-Arguments Extraction Corpus and Modeling using BERT for Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aljabari-2024-event-arguments-extraction-corpus-modeling/)** *(2024 · 11 citations)* Arabic has few annotated resources for linking events to their participants, places and times. The authors address this by adding relation annotations to the existing Wojood nested NER corpus, producing Wojood Hadath. In it, each event mention is connected to agent, location and date entities in the same sentence… 4. **[Relations: Arabic Relation Extraction Corpus and Modeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aljabari-2025-mathrmwojood-relations-arabic-relation-extraction/)** *(2025 · 2 citations)* Arabic relation extraction (RE) has lacked large, well-annotated, openly available data. Existing multilingual sets cover Arabic only thinly, use flat entities, or come from noisy distant supervision. The authors build Wojood Relations by adding manual relation labels to the nested-entity Wojood NER corpus. The… 5. **[AraREQ: A Dataset and End-to-End System for Conflict Detection and Resolution in Software Requirements](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hammouda-2026-arareq-dataset-end-end-system/)** *(2026)* Requirement documents for software often contain pairs of statements that contradict each other. Tools for catching such clashes exist mostly for English, and Arabic has had no annotated data for the task. The authors build AraREQ by Arabizing four English requirement-pair collections (PURE, WorldVista, OPENCOSS… ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 5 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[ArabicNLU 2024: The First Arabic Natural Language Understanding Shared Task](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/khalilia-2024-arabicnlu-2024-first-arabic-natural/) [Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/)**Mohammed Khalilia, Sanad Malaysha, Reem Suwaileh, et al.*2024 · 19 citations* 2. **[ImageEval 2025: The First Arabic Image Captioning Shared Task](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bashiti-2025-imageeval-2025-first-arabic-image/) [Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/)**Ahlam Bashiti, Alaa Aljabari, Hadi Hamoud, et al.*2025 · 13 citations* 3. **[Event-Arguments Extraction Corpus and Modeling using BERT for Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aljabari-2024-event-arguments-extraction-corpus-modeling/) [Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/)**Alaa Aljabari, Lina Duaibes, Mustafa Jarrar, et al.*2024 · 11 citations* 4. **[Relations: Arabic Relation Extraction Corpus and Modeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aljabari-2025-mathrmwojood-relations-arabic-relation-extraction/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Alaa Aljabari, Mohammed Khalilia, Mustafa Jarrar*2025 · 2 citations* 5. **[AraREQ: A Dataset and End-to-End System for Conflict Detection and Resolution in Software Requirements](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hammouda-2026-arareq-dataset-end-end-system/) [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/)**Tymaa Hasanain Hammouda, Alaa Aljabari, Nagham Fahim Hamad, et al.*2026* 6. **[WojoodOntology: Ontology-Driven LLM Prompting for Unified Information Extraction Tasks ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2025.arabicnlp-main.14/) Proceedings of The Third Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference · no summary yet**Alaa Aljabari et al.*2025* ## Co-authors here 12 of 17 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Mustafa Jarrar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mustafa-jarrar/) ×5 - [Mohammed Khalilia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mohammed-khalilia/) ×3 - [Ahlam Bashiti](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ahlam-bashiti/) - [Bilal Shalash](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bilal-shalash/) - [Ehsaneddin Asgari](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ehsaneddin-asgari/) - [Fadi Zaraket](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fadi-zaraket/) - [George Mikros](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/george-mikros/) - [Hadi Hamoud](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hadi-hamoud/) - [Imed Zitouni](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/imed-zitouni/) - [Lina Duaibes](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lina-duaibes/) - [Md.
