Part of the reason is the language's rich morphology. Another part is that annotated social-media data was rarely shared. Refaee and Rieser address this gap by building a hand-annotated collection of Arabic tweets for analysing subjectivity and sentiment (SSA). 2. **[iLab-Edinburgh at SemEval-2016 Task 7: A Hybrid Approach for Determining Sentiment Intensity of Arabic Twitter Phrases](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/refaee-2016-ilab-edinburgh-semeval-2016-task/)** *(2016 · 32 citations)* The paper describes the system that won the Arabic Twitter subtask of SemEval-2016 Task 7. The task gives a word or short phrase from Arabic tweets and asks for a real-valued sentiment intensity (SI) score between 0 and 1. Scores below 0.5 mean negative and scores above mean positive.

The motivation is that classifiers trained on limited manual data break down when topics shift over time. The authors collected tweets across a year: 5. **[AraBEM at WANLP 2022 Shared Task: Propaganda Detection in Arabic Tweets](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/refaee-2022-arabem-wanlp-2022-shared-task/)** *(2022 · 4 citations)* This paper describes team AraBEM's entry to the WANLP 2022 shared task on detecting propaganda in Arabic tweets. ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Verena Rieser](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/verena-rieser/) ×4 - [Basem Ahmed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/basem-ahmed/) - [Motaz Saad](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/motaz-saad/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Student Research Workshop](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conference-of-the-north-american-chapter-of-the-association-for-computational/): [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Student Research Workshop 2015](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conference-of-the-north-american-chapter-of-the-association-for-computational/2015/) - [EMNLP Workshop on Arabic Natural Language Processing (ANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp-workshop-on-arabic-natural-language-processing-anlp/): [ANLP 2014](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp-workshop-on-arabic-natural-language-processing-anlp/2014/) - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2014](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2014/) - [International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/semeval/): [SemEval 2016](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/semeval/2016/) - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (WANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/): [WANLP 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2022/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 48 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [38 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/eshrag-refaee/cited-by/).
