This makes data-driven translation between them and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) difficult. The authors address this gap with PADIC, a multi-dialect parallel corpus created manually rather than harvested from the web, because… 2. **[An enhanced automatic speech recognition system for Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/menacer-2017-enhanced-automatic-speech-recognition-system/)** *(2017 · 24 citations)* Arabic speech recognition is hard for several reasons. The morphology is rich, so many words fall outside the vocabulary. Written text usually omits short vowels, so one written form can have many pronunciations. The hamoza sign is often confused or left out. The authors build a Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)… 3. **[The SMarT Classifier for Arabic Fine-Grained Dialect Identification](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/meftouh-2019-smart-classifier-arabic-fine-grained/)** *(2019 · 14 citations)* The paper describes the SMarT group's entry to subtask 1 of the MADAR shared task. The task was to identify, at the sentence level, which of 25 Arab city dialects or Modern Standard Arabic a sentence is written in. The authors trained only on the official Corpus-26 and Corpus-6 data. Two neural options, an LSTM and a… 4. **[ABDUL: A New Approach to Build Language Models for Dialects Using Formal Language Corpora Only](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/toughrai-2025-abdul-new-approach-build-language/)** *(2025 · 1 citation)* North African Arabic dialects (Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian) have little training data, no standard orthography, and many loanwords. ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [David Langlois](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/david-langlois/) ×2 - [Karima Meftouh](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/karima-meftouh/) ×2 - [Salima Harrat](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/salima-harrat/) ×2 - [Mourad Abbas](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mourad-abbas/) - [Salma Jamoussi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/salma-jamoussi/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (WANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/) ×2: [WANLP 2019](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2019/), [WANLP 2017](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2017/) - [Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information and Computation (PACLIC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/paclic/): [PACLIC 2015](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/paclic/2015/) - Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Language Models for Underserved Communities (LM4UC 2025) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 71 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [49 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kamel-smaili/cited-by/).
