The task is fine-grained Arabic dialect identification: each sentence from the travel domain is assigned to one of 26 classes, which are 25 city dialects plus MSA. The team represents each sentence with TF–IDF vectors over… 4. **[Deep Contextualized Pairwise Semantic Similarity for Arabic Language Questions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/al-bataineh-2019-deep-contextualized-pairwise-semantic-similarity/)** *(2019 · 16 citations)* The paper addresses question-to-question (Q2Q) semantic similarity for Arabic. Two questions count as equivalent when they would receive the same answer. The task is hard because Arabic has little labelled Q2Q data, a rich morphology, and many dialects that differ from Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). 5. **[NSURL-2019 Task 8: Semantic Question Similarity in Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/seelawi-2019-nsurl-2019-task-8-semantic/)** *(2019 · 13 citations)* This overview paper describes the shared task on Arabic question-to-question (Q2Q) semantic similarity, held at the NSURL 2019 workshop. 6. **[NSURL-2019 Shared Task 8: Semantic Question Similarity in Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/seelawi-2019-nsurl-2019-shared-task-8/)** *(2019 · 6 citations)* This paper reports on Shared Task 8 of the NSURL 2019 workshop on under-resourced languages. Systems had to decide whether two Arabic questions mean the same thing, even when worded differently. The organizers define two questions as equivalent if they share the same answer; a partly different answer counts as… ## Co-authors here 12 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Wael Farhan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wael-farhan/) ×5 - [Ahmad Mustafa](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ahmad-mustafa/) ×4 - [Hesham Al-Bataineh](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hesham-al-bataineh/) ×4 - [Bashar Talafha](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bashar-talafha/) ×3 - [Hussein Al-Natsheh](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hussein-al-natsheh/) ×3 - [Hussein T.
