Preserving Sentiment in Neural Machine Translation of Arabic Reviews](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saadany-2020-is-it-great-or-terrible/)** *(2020 · 11 citations)* Online NMT systems often mishandle sentiment in Arabic user-generated reviews. These reviews mix Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) with dialect, mostly Egyptian. Some words carry opposite polarity in the two varieties, so a translation can lose the evaluation entirely or reverse it. 2. **[A Semi-supervised Approach for a Better Translation of Sentiment in Dialectical Arabic UGT](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saadany-2022-semi-supervised-approach-better-translation/)** *(2022 · 7 citations)* Machine translation of Arabic user-generated text (UGT), such as tweets and reviews, often flips sentiment. 3. **[Fake or Real? A Study of Arabic Satirical Fake News](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saadany-2020-fake-or-real-study-arabic/)** *(2020 · 7 citations)* This paper asks whether Arabic satirical news, which imitates the style of official outlets and can be mistaken for genuine reporting once shared without its source, can be told apart from real news automatically. 4. **[Cyber Risks of Machine Translation Critical Errors : Arabic Mental Health Tweets as a Case Study](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saadany-2024-cyber-risks-machine-translation-critical/)** *(2024 · 3 citations)* Free neural MT tools often produce fluent output that is quietly wrong. Neither readers who don't know the source language nor standard quality metrics tend to notice. The authors study this risk for Arabic tweets about mental health. Here a mistranslation can hide signs of depression or suicidal thinking from a… ## All works 11 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[BLEU, METEOR, BERTScore: Evaluation of Metrics Performance in Assessing Critical Translation Errors in Sentiment-Oriented Text ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2021.triton-1.6/) Proceedings of the Translation and Interpreting Technology Online Conference · no summary yet**Hadeel Saadany, Constantin Orasan*2021 · 46 citations* 2. **[Is it Great or Terrible?
