Multilingual models such as mBERT and XLM-R handle it poorly, are expensive at inference, and lack enough native social-media and dialect data. The existing Arabic model AraBERT also has limited data diversity, dialect support and evaluation… 2. **[AraT5: Text-to-Text Transformers for Arabic Language Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nagoudi-2022-arat5-text-text-transformers-arabic/)** *(2022 · 201 citations)* Multilingual encoder-decoder models such as mT5 cover Arabic, but it was unclear how well they handle the language's many dialects. There was also no Arabic sequence-to-sequence model and no shared benchmark for Arabic text generation. The authors address both gaps. 3. **[TARJAMAT: Evaluation of Bard and ChatGPT on Machine Translation of Ten Arabic Varieties](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kadaoui-2023-tarjamat-evaluation-bard-chatgpt-machine/)** *(2023 · 60 citations)* The paper asks how well instruction-tuned LLMs translate across the Arabic language family, which includes older, standard, and regional forms. ## Also in our library 22 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Muhammad Abdul-Mageed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muhammad-abdul-mageed/) ×3 - [AbdelRahim Elmadany](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abdelrahim-elmadany/) ×2 - [Abdul Waheed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abdul-waheed/) - [Samar M.
