Rich morphology, ambiguity and many dialects make opinion mining in Arabic hard, and the authors present this as the first study of deep learning for the task in that language. They compare four architectures on sentences… 3. **[Transformers for Tabular Data Representation: A Survey of Models and Applications](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/badaro-2023-transformers-tabular-data-representation-survey/)** *(2023 · 104 citations)* Transformer language models have changed how free text is encoded, and a growing body of work adapts them to tables, which hold a large amount of knowledge. 4. **[EMA at SemEval-2018 Task 1: Emotion Mining for Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/badaro-2018-ema-semeval-2018-task-1/)** *(2018 · 73 citations)* The paper describes EMA, a system built by a team at the American University of Beirut for the Arabic track of SemEval-2018 Task 1 (Affect in Tweets). 5. **[A Characterization Study of Arabic Twitter Data with a Benchmarking for State-of-the-Art Opinion Mining Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/baly-2017-characterization-study-arabic-twitter-data/)** *(2017 · 67 citations)* The paper looks at why sentiment analysis of Arabic tweets is hard and how well leading English opinion-mining models work when moved to Arabic. 6. **[EmoWordNet: Automatic Expansion of Emotion Lexicon Using English WordNet](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/badaro-2018-emowordnet-automatic-expansion-emotion-lexicon/)** *(2018 · 43 citations)* Emotion lexicons for English are much smaller than sentiment lexicons. For example, DepecheMood has about 37K entries, while SentiWordNet has about 150K. The authors grow DepecheMood into a larger resource called EmoWordNet without any manual annotation. Because DepecheMood lemmas are already aligned with English… 7. **[OMAM at SemEval-2017 Task 4: Evaluation of English State-of-the-Art Sentiment Analysis Models for Arabic and a New Topic-based Model](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/baly-2017-omam-semeval-2017-task-4/)** *(2017 · 33 citations)* The paper tackles sentiment analysis of Arabic tweets within SemEval-2017 Task 4. Rich morphology, dialect variation, misspellings and Twitter-specific tokens make this task harder than in English. The OMAM team built four systems: 8. **[A Light Lexicon-based Mobile Application for Sentiment Mining of Arabic Tweets](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/badaro-2015-light-lexicon-based-mobile-application/)** *(2015 · 32 citations)* The paper addresses sentiment analysis of Arabic tweets on a phone. Full Arabic NLP toolkits such as MADAMIRA cannot run on the device without a server, and server calls cost energy and response time. The authors replace heavy morphological processing with a sentiment lexicon stored locally. The lexicon is ArSenL… ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hazem Hajj](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hazem-hajj/) ×7 - [Wassim El-Hajj](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wassim-el-hajj/) ×7 - [Ramy Baly](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ramy-baly/) ×5 - [Khaled Shaban](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/khaled-shaban/) ×4 - [Nizar Habash](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nizar-habash/) ×3 - [Ahmad Al Sallab](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ahmad-al-sallab/) ×2 - [Georges El-Khoury](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/georges-el-khoury/) ×2 - [Rawan Moukalled](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rawan-moukalled/) ×2 - [Rita Aoun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rita-aoun/) ×2 - [Alaa Khaddaj](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alaa-khaddaj/) - [Ali Hamdi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ali-hamdi/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/semeval/) ×2: [SemEval 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/semeval/2018/), [SemEval 2017](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/semeval/2017/) - [Workshop on Arabic Natural Language Processing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/workshop-on-arabic-natural-language-processing/) ×2: [Workshop on Arabic Natural Language Processing 2015](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/workshop-on-arabic-natural-language-processing/2015/) ×2 - [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/) - [Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics (*SEM)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/starsem/): [*SEM 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/starsem/2018/) - [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/): [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL) 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/2023/) - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (WANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/): [WANLP 2017](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2017/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 136 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [66 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gilbert-badaro/cited-by/).
