1. **[The AraGenEval Shared Task on Arabic Authorship Style Transfer and AI Generated Text Detection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abudalfa-2025-arageneval-shared-task-arabic-authorship/)** *(2025 · 36 citations)* AraGenEval was a shared task at ArabicNLP 2025 (co-located with EMNLP 2025). It filled a gap: Arabic had no dedicated benchmark for imitating an author's style or for telling human writing from machine writing. The organizers defined three subtasks. The first, Authorship Style Transfer, rewrites a formal Arabic…
2. **[AHaSIS: Shared Task on Sentiment Analysis for Arabic Dialects](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alharbi-2025-ahasis-shared-task-sentiment-analysis/)** *(2025 · 15 citations)* The AHaSIS 2025 shared task addresses a gap in Arabic sentiment analysis. Most labelled resources cover Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), and models trained on them transfer poorly to regional dialects. The organisers took MSA hotel reviews from the SemEval-2016 ABSA-Hotels data, collected from Booking.com and…
3. **[AbjadGenEval: Abjad AI Generated Text Detection Shared Task for Languages Using Arabic Script at AbjadNLP 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ezzini-2026-abjadgeneval-abjad-ai-generated-text/)** *(2026 · 10 citations)* AbjadGenEval is a shared task held at the AbjadNLP workshop (EACL 2026). It tests whether systems can tell human-written news from LLM-generated news in languages written in Arabic script. The organizers argue that existing detectors were built mostly for English and break down on Arabic-script text, where rich…
4. **[AraReasoner: Evaluating Reasoning-Based LLMs for Arabic NLP](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hasanaath-2025-arareasoner-evaluating-reasoning-based-llms/)** *(2025 · 8 citations)* AraReasoner asks how well recent reasoning-oriented LLMs handle Arabic. Arabic is hard for models because of its rich morphology, many dialects, and non-Latin script, and earlier Arabic benchmarks mostly covered BERT-style encoders or only a few closed GPT models. The authors assembled fifteen public Arabic datasets…
5. **[AraSentEval 2026: A Shared Task on Sentiment Analysis and Swapping in Arabic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ezzini-2026-arasenteval-2026-shared-task-sentiment/)** *(2026)* AraSentEval is a shared task held at OSACT7 (LREC 2026). It targets two weak spots in Arabic sentiment work. The first is that most benchmarks cover MSA or only a few dialects. The second is that controllable sentiment generation is barely studied. The organisers set up two subtasks:
6. **[OBSIDIAN: An OSINT-Driven NLP Framework for Detecting Cyber-Physical Threats in Arabic Social Media](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/almalki-2026-obsidian-osint-driven-nlp-framework/)** *(2026)* The paper targets a gap in Arabic social-media NLP. Prior datasets mostly cover hate speech, offensive language, cyberbullying and harassment, and they treat harm as linguistic toxicity. Security-relevant signals that analysts need for early warning, such as violent intent, explicit threats or people asking for help…
