Moroccan Darija (MD) is an Arabic dialect with tens of millions of speakers, but it has no standard spelling and almost no computational resources. It now appears mostly in informal online writing. The authors ask what a computational lexicon for such a language should contain, and… 4. **[Exploitation of an Arabic Language Resource for Machine Translation Evaluation: using Buckwalter-based Lookup Tool to Augment CMU Alignment Algorithm](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/voss-2008-exploitation-arabic-language-resource-machine/)** *(2008 · 2 citations)* The paper addresses a known weakness in machine translation evaluation. At the level of single segments, human adequacy judgments and automatic metrics agree poorly, as the authors' earlier study of three DARPA GALE Arabic-English systems showed. Their response is to "ground" each MT output against its Reference… ## All works 8 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. **[Finding Romanized Arabic Dialect in Code-Mixed Tweets](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/voss-2014-finding-romanized-arabic-dialect-code/) [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/)**Clare Voss, Stephen Tratz, Jamal Laoudi, et al.*2014 · 60 citations* 2. **[Provenance-Assisted Classification in Social Networks ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/jstsp.2014.2311586) IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing · no summary yet**Dong Wang et al.*2014 · 40 citations* 3. **[Tweet Conversation Annotation Tool with a Focus on an Arabic Dialect, Moroccan Darija](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tratz-2013-tweet-conversation-annotation-tool-focus/) [Linguistic Annotation Workshop and Interoperability with Discourse](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/linguistic-annotation-workshop-and-interoperability-with-discourse/)**Stephen Tratz, Douglas Briesch, Jamal Laoudi, et al.*2013 · 20 citations* 4. **[Task-based MT Evaluation: From Who/When/Where Extraction to Event Understanding ↗](https://aclanthology.org/L06-1487/) Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'06) · no summary yet**Jamal Laoudi, Calandra R.
