## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Investigating Cultural Alignment of Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alkhamissi-2024-investigating-cultural-alignment-large-language/)** *(2024 · 183 citations)* The paper asks whether large language models reflect the views held by specific cultures and what drives that alignment.
2. **[Deep Diacritization: Efficient Hierarchical Recurrence for Improved Arabic Diacritization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alkhamissi-2020-deep-diacritization-efficient-hierarchical-recurrence/)** *(2020 · 18 citations)* Written Arabic usually leaves out short vowels, consonant doubling and similar marks, so readers infer them from context.
3. **[Adapting MARBERT for Improved Arabic Dialect Identification: Submission to the NADI 2021 Shared Task](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alkhamissi-2021-adapting-marbert-improved-arabic-dialect/)** *(2021 · 11 citations)* The paper addresses fine-grained Arabic dialect identification for the NADI 2021 shared task. Systems must guess where a short tweet comes from, at both country and province level, for dialectal Arabic (DA) and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). That makes four subtasks, covering 21 countries and 100 provinces. The…
4. **[Rosetta Stone at KSAA-RD Shared Task: A Hop From Language Modeling To Word–Definition Alignment](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/elbakry-2023-rosetta-stone-ksaa-rd-shared/)** *(2023 · 7 citations)* The paper describes the top-ranked system in the KSAA-RD shared task on an Arabic reverse dictionary. A reverse dictionary takes a description and returns the word it describes, which helps with tip-of-the-tongue situations. In this task, systems must output a vector for an Arabic word, both its SGNS embedding and…
5. **[The Shared Task on Gender Rewriting](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alhafni-2022-shared-task-gender-rewriting/)** *(2022 · 3 citations)* This paper reports on a shared task, held at WANLP 2022, on gender rewriting for Modern Standard Arabic. The task takes a sentence and produces versions that fit each combination of speaker gender and listener gender. In Arabic, words that refer to the first or second person carry grammatical gender, so a system that…
6. **[A Context-Contrastive Inference Approach To Partial Diacritization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/elnokrashy-2024-context-contrastive-inference-approach-partial/)** *(2024 · 2 citations)* Arabic script usually omits short vowels and gemination, so readers reconstruct pronunciation from context.
