Arabic has many dialects and rich morphology, and it has far fewer labeled resources than English. People also disagree about what counts as sarcastic. The authors respond to this disagreement by treating sarcasm as a matter of degree rather than a… 2. **[Evaluation of Semantic Search and its Role in Retrieved-Augmented-Generation (RAG) for Arabic Language](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mahboub-2024-evaluation-semantic-search-role-retrieved/)** *(2024 · 2 citations)* The paper targets a gap in Arabic NLP: there is no standard benchmark for semantic search, and little is known about how the choice of retriever affects Arabic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). 3. **[A New Benchmark for Evaluating Automatic Speech Recognition in the Arabic Call Domain](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/obaidah-2024-new-benchmark-evaluating-automatic-speech/)** *(2024 · 1 citation)* Arabic speech recognition is especially hard on phone calls. Speakers mix many dialects, switch into English and talk informally, and the audio is often noisy or degraded. Benchmarks for this setting were missing, so the authors built one from real recordings of agents talking with customers. The calls came from a… 4. **[Arabic Text-To-Speech (TTS) Data Preparation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/masri-2022-arabic-text-speech-tts-data/)** *(2022 · 1 citation)* This paper offers practical guidance on building recorded data for Arabic text-to-speech. The authors argue that Arabic lags behind other languages in TTS and that the quality of the human-recorded ground truth largely decides how natural and intelligible the resulting voice will be. They combine a linguistic view… ## Also in our library 2 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Adnan Jaljuli](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/adnan-jaljuli/) ×2 - [Ali Mahboub](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ali-mahboub/) ×2 - [Asma Hakouz](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/asma-hakouz/) ×2 - [Bashar Al-Rfooh](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bashar-al-rfooh/) ×2 - [Yazan Estaitia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yazan-estaitia/) ×2 - [Bashar Talafha](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bashar-talafha/) - [Mahmoud Al-Ayyoub](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mahmoud-al-ayyoub/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 36 times (of the 140 884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [11 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muhy-eddin-za-ter/cited-by/).
