## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[ArabicSense: A Benchmark for Evaluating Commonsense Reasoning in Arabic with Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lamsiyah-2025-arabicsense-benchmark-evaluating-commonsense-reasoning/)** *(2025 · 7 citations)* Commonsense benchmarks exist mostly for English, and the few Arabic ones were machine- or hand-translated from English sets such as SemEval-2020 ComVE, ECQA and OMCS.
2. **[ArabIcros: AI-Powered Arabic Crossword Puzzle Generation for Educational Applications](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zeinalipour-2023-arabicros-ai-powered-arabic-crossword/)** *(2023 · 7 citations)* The paper tackles the lack of tools and data for building Arabic crossword puzzles for teaching. Writing good Arabic clues takes wordplay skill, and no earlier system produced Arabic crosswords automatically.
3. **[From Arabic Text to Puzzles: LLM-Driven Development of Arabic Educational Crosswords](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zeinalipour-2025-arabic-text-puzzles-llm-driven/)** *(2025 · 3 citations)* The paper addresses the lack of Arabic educational tools. It presents a system that turns any Arabic educational text into crossword material: answer keywords plus matching clues. The authors built Arabic-Clue-Instruct from Arabic Wikipedia. They took each article's opening section, used its bolded terms as candidate…
4. **[Enabling Structured Reasoning in Sindhi with Culturally Grounded Instruction Tuning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mehak-2026-enabling-structured-reasoning-sindhi-culturally/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Large language models handle reasoning poorly in Sindhi, an Indo-Aryan language with over 40 million speakers.
5. **[Shawarma Chats: A Benchmark Exact Dialogue & Evaluation Platter in Egyptian, Maghrebi & Modern Standard Arabic–-A Triple-Dialect Feast for Hungry Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zeinalipour-2025-shawarma-chats-benchmark-exact-dialogue/)** *(2025 · 1 citation)* Arabic has no dialogue benchmark that ties conversations to a source text and also covers Modern Standard Arabic, Egyptian and Maghrebi varieties together. The authors build ShawarmaChats, a set of 30,000 six-turn, two-speaker dialogues derived from 10,000 Arabic Wikipedia paragraphs, with 10,000 dialogues per variety.
6. **[Elections go bananas: A First Large-scale Multilingual Study of Pluralia Tantum using LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/spaziani-2026-elections-go-bananas-first-large/)** *(2026)* The paper examines pluralia tantum, nouns whose plural form dominates or fully replaces the singular (e.g., scissors , RU выборы 'elections').
7. **[From Graph to Text and Back: Semantic Fidelity in Automated Industrial Knowledge Graphs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zeinalipour-2026-graph-text-back-semantic-fidelity/)** *(2026)* When LLMs turn knowledge-graph triples into prose, they can invent facts or drop relations. That is unacceptable in industrial settings, and checking every output by hand is too expensive. The authors propose a self-supervised round-trip loop to solve this. One LLM writes text from a set of triples, and a second LLM…
