Most Arabic benchmarks use static public data and cover only a narrow set of capabilities. They also lack a hosted platform with hidden test sets, so training-data contamination is likely and progress is difficult to track. A large consortium… 2. **[KSAA-RD Shared Task: Arabic Reverse Dictionary](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/matham-2023-ksaa-rd-shared-task-arabic/)** *(2023 · 10 citations)* The paper reports on KSAA-RD, the first shared task on Arabic reverse dictionaries. A reverse dictionary takes a description of a meaning and returns the matching word, which helps with tip-of-the-tongue cases. There were two tracks. In the monolingual RD track, systems read an Arabic gloss. In the cross-lingual CLRD… 3. **[Evaluating RAG Pipelines for Arabic Lexical Information Retrieval: A Comparative Study of Embedding and Generation Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rasheed-2025-evaluating-rag-pipelines-arabic-lexical/)** *(2025 · 6 citations)* The paper asks how well a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline can answer questions about Arabic words, a setting where rich morphology and diacritics make retrieval and generation difficult. 4. **[Evaluation of Large Language Models on Arabic Punctuation Prediction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wazrah-2025-evaluation-large-language-models-arabic/)** *(2025 · 1 citation)* The paper asks how well current large language models restore punctuation in Arabic text. This task matters for cleaning up speech-recognition output and for downstream translation, and had not been tested with LLMs for Arabic. The KSAA team assembled a fresh dataset for predicting where punctuation belongs in Arabic… 5. **[Establishing a Baseline for Arabic Patents Classification: A Comparison of Twelve Approaches](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/omar-2022-establishing-baseline-arabic-patents-classification/)** *(2022 · 1 citation)* Patent offices still assign classification codes by hand, which is slow. Automatic classification has been studied for English, Korean and Chinese, but Arabic had no public labelled corpus. The authors scraped all granted patents from the Saudi Authority of Intellectual Property (SAIP) website and released them as… ## Co-authors here 12 of 17 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Asma Al Wazrah](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/asma-al-wazrah/) ×4 - [Abdulrahman AlOsaimy](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abdulrahman-alosaimy/) ×3 - [Waad Alshammari](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/waad-alshammari/) ×3 - [Afrah Altamimi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/afrah-altamimi/) ×2 - [Hawra Aljasim](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hawra-aljasim/) ×2 - [Muneera Alhoshan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muneera-alhoshan/) ×2 - [Raghad Al-Rasheed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/raghad-al-rasheed/) ×2 - [Amal Almazrua](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/amal-almazrua/) - [Eman AlBilali](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/eman-albilali/) - [Firoj Alam](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/firoj-alam/) - [Halah Munif Alharbi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/halah-munif-alharbi/) - [Hend Al-Khalifa](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hend-al-khalifa/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Workshop on NLP for Languages Using Arabic Script](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/abjadnlp/) ×2: [Workshop on NLP for Languages Using Arabic Script 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/abjadnlp/2025/) ×2 - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/) ×2: [ArabicNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/2025/), [ArabicNLP 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/2023/) - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (WANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/): [WANLP 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2022/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 28 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [25 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rawan-al-matham/cited-by/).
