Arabic is spoken by about 360 million people, yet it makes up only around half a percent of CommonCrawl. The authors address this gap with AlGhafa, a multiple-choice benchmark for zero- and few-shot evaluation. They… 3. **[A Holistic Assessment of the Carbon Footprint of Noor, a Very Large Arabic Language Model](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lakim-2022-holistic-assessment-carbon-footprint-noor/)** *(2022 · 30 citations)* Papers on large language models usually report only the electricity used for the final training runs. This one asks what the whole project costs in carbon. The case study is Noor, a joint effort by TII (UAE) and LightOn (France) to build Arabic generative models larger than AraGPT. The suite has four models (1.5B… ## Co-authors here 12 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ebtesam Almazrouei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ebtesam-almazrouei/) ×3 - [Badreddine Noune](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/badreddine-noune/) ×2 - [Daniele Mazzotta](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daniele-mazzotta/) ×2 - [Hamza Alobeidli](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hamza-alobeidli/) ×2 - [Merouane Debbah](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/merouane-debbah/) ×2 - [Quentin Malartic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/quentin-malartic/) ×2 - [Ruxandra Cojocaru](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruxandra-cojocaru/) ×2 - [Étienne Goffinet](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/etienne-goffinet/) - [Giulia Campesan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/giulia-campesan/) - [Guilherme Penedo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/guilherme-penedo/) - [Maitha Alhammadi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/maitha-alhammadi/) - [Mugariya Farooq](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mugariya-farooq/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/): [ArabicNLP 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/2023/) - [BigScience Episode – Workshop on Challenges & Perspectives in Creating Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/bigscience/): [BigScience Episode – Workshop on Challenges & Perspectives in Creating Large Language Models 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/bigscience/2022/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 379 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [91 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/julien-launay/cited-by/).
