## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[L-HSAB: A Levantine Twitter Dataset for Hate Speech and Abusive Language](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mulki-2019-l-hsab-levantine-twitter-dataset/)** *(2019 · 256 citations)* Arabic dialects have few public resources for detecting abusive language and hate speech, and Levantine dialects have almost none.
2. **[Let-Mi: An Arabic Levantine Twitter Dataset for Misogynistic Language](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mulki-2021-let-mi-arabic-levantine-twitter/)** *(2021 · 33 citations)* Arabic has had no benchmark for detecting online misogyny, and Levantine Arabic is poorly covered in NLP resources generally.
3. **[Tw-StAR at SemEval-2017 Task 4: Sentiment Classification of Arabic Tweets](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mulki-2017-tw-star-semeval-2017-task/)** *(2017 · 25 citations)* The paper describes the Tw-StAR team's entry to SemEval-2017 subtask 4A-Arabic, which asks systems to label each Arabic tweet as positive, negative or neutral.
4. **[Syntax-Ignorant N-gram Embeddings for Sentiment Analysis of Arabic Dialects](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mulki-2019-syntax-ignorant-n-gram-embeddings/)** *(2019 · 13 citations)* Arabic dialects vary in syntax and allow free word order. A sentiment classifier that relies on ordered, syntax-aware sentence composition, such as a CNN or RecNN, may therefore work well for one dialect and poorly for another. Mulki et al. address this with Tw-StAR, a shallow feed-forward network that learns n-gram…
5. **[Modern Trends in Arabic Sentiment Analysis: A Survey](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mulki-2017-modern-trends-arabic-sentiment-analysis/)** *(2017 · 12 citations)* After the 2010 uprisings, Arabic opinion content on social media grew sharply, and demand for automatic opinion mining grew with it.
6. **[Empirical Evaluation of Leveraging Named Entities for Arabic Sentiment Analysis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mulki-2019-empirical-evaluation-leveraging-named-entities/)** *(2019 · 6 citations)* The paper asks whether named entities (people, places, organizations) can serve as sentiment signals in Arabic social-media sentiment analysis, rather than being ignored or stripped out.
