Everyday cultural knowledge, however, is exchanged in conversation and in regional dialects. The authors build ArabCulture-Dialogue by turning each item of the existing ArabCulture benchmark into a short… 2. **[ArabEmoNet: A Lightweight Hybrid 2D CNN-BiLSTM Model with Attention for Robust Arabic Speech Emotion Recognition](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abouzeid-2025-arabemonet-lightweight-hybrid-2d-cnn/)** *(2025 · 1 citation)* Arabic speech emotion recognition (SER) has little labelled data. Earlier Arabic systems mostly fed 13 MFCC coefficients into 1D convolutions, which handle time and frequency structure separately. The authors present ArabEmoNet, a compact model with about 0.97M parameters. It turns raw audio into Log-Mel spectrograms… 3. **[Beyond Memorization: Extending Reasoning Depth with Recurrence, Memory and Test-Time Compute Scaling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rodkin-2026-beyond-memorization-extending-reasoning-depth/)** *(2026)* The paper asks whether multi-step reasoning in neural models reflects real generalization or memorization, and how difficulty grows with the number of required inference steps. ## Co-authors here 12 of 18 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Abed Alhakim Freihat](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abed-alhakim-freihat/) - [Amr Keleg](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/amr-keleg/) - [Artem Shelmanov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/artem-shelmanov/) - [Aydar Bulatov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aydar-bulatov/) - [Besher Hassan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/besher-hassan/) - [Daniil Orel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daniil-orel/) - [Ivan Rodkin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ivan-rodkin/) - [Mikhail Burtsev](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mikhail-burtsev/) - [Mohamed Anwar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mohamed-anwar/) - [Momina Ahsan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/momina-ahsan/) - [Omar El Herraoui](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/omar-el-herraoui/) - [Preslav Nakov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/preslav-nakov/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/): [ArabicNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 2 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bilal-elbouardi/cited-by/).
