Existing corpora are often small, limited to one dialect, unbalanced, or labelled in ways that distort the original text. The authors build ATSAD, a Twitter corpus of 36K Arabic tweets marked as positive or negative.… 3. **[ArbDialectID at MADAR Shared Task 1: Language Modelling and Ensemble Learning for Fine Grained Arabic Dialect Identification](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kwaik-2019-arbdialectid-madar-shared-task-1/)** *(2019 · 22 citations)* The paper addresses Arabic Dialect Identification at the city level. Telling 26 varieties apart (25 Arab cities plus MSA) is difficult because neighbouring dialects have no fixed spelling and often look nearly identical in writing. The authors built ArbDialectID for Task 1 of the MADAR shared task, using the… 4. **[Can Modern Standard Arabic Approaches be used for Arabic Dialects? Sentiment Analysis as a Case Study](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kwaik-2019-can-modern-standard-arabic-approaches/)** *(2019 · 6 citations)* The paper asks whether sentiment classifiers built for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) still work on dialectal Arabic (DA), or whether each dialect needs its own models. 5. **[Pre-trained Models or Feature Engineering: The Case of Dialectal Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kwaik-2022-pre-trained-models-or-feature/)** *(2022 · 2 citations)* Published work on Arabic dialects reports results on corpora that differ in size, dialect coverage and quality, so it is hard to say whether neural models really beat classic classifiers on Dialectal Arabic. ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Simon Dobnik](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/simon-dobnik/) ×4 - [Stergios Chatzikyriakidis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/stergios-chatzikyriakidis/) ×4 - [Motaz Saad](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/motaz-saad/) ×3 - [Richard Johansson](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/richard-johansson/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Workshop on Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Processing Tools with Shared Tasks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/osact/) ×2: [Workshop on Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Processing Tools with Shared Tasks 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/osact/2022/), [Workshop on Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Processing Tools with Shared Tasks 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/osact/2020/) - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2018/) - [Workshop on Arabic Corpus Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wacl/): [Workshop on Arabic Corpus Linguistics 2019](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wacl/2019/) - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (WANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/): [WANLP 2019](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2019/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 62 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [46 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kathrein-abu-kwaik/cited-by/).
