Many existing models are multilingual or bilingual, and their vocabularies carry many English tokens, which the authors see as a poor fit for Arabic's rich morphology. Their answer is ArabianGPT, part of a wider… 2. **[ASOS at OSACT6 Shared Task: Investigation of Data Augmentation in Arabic Dialect-MSA Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nacar-2024-asos-osact6-shared-task-investigation/)** *(2024 · 4 citations)* This paper presents the ASOS team's submission to the OSACT 2024 shared task, which involved converting dialectal Arabic (Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine, Iraqi, Maghrebi) into Modern Standard Arabic. The main obstacle is the lack of data: the organizers supplied only about 200 parallel sentences per dialect. 3. **[ASOS at NADI 2024 shared task: Bridging Dialectness Estimation and MSA Machine Translation for Arabic Language Enhancement](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nacar-2024-asos-nadi-2024-shared-task/)** *(2024 · 2 citations)* This NADI 2024 submission tackles two linked Arabic tasks. The first is predicting a sentence's Arabic Level of Dialectness (ALDi) as a continuous score. The second is translating four dialects (Egyptian, Emirati, Jordanian, Palestinian) into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). 4. **[CANDLE: CTC-based Arabic Noisy-character Deduplication using a Lightweight Encoder](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alasmary-2026-candle-ctc-based-arabic-noisy/)** *(2026)* Writers on social media often stretch Arabic words by repeating letters for emphasis. Some doubled letters, however, belong to the correct spelling, and collapsing them can turn one word into another, for example "kingdom" into "queen". CANDLE tackles this without rules, dictionaries or morphological analyzers. It… ## Also in our library 4 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Anis Koubaa](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/anis-koubaa/) ×3 - [Serry Sibaee](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/serry-sibaee/) ×3 - [Abdullah Alharbi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abdullah-alharbi/) ×2 - [Omer Nacar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/omer-nacar/) ×2 - [Adel Ammar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/adel-ammar/) - [Ahmad Ghannam](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ahmad-ghannam/) - [Omar Najar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/omar-najar/) - [Samar Ahmed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/samar-ahmed/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 28 times (of the 140 884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [7 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lahouari-ghouti/cited-by/).
