It targets banking customer queries, where most existing financial NLP work covers only English. The organizers proposed two subtasks: 2. **[SALMA: Arabic Sense-Annotated Corpus and WSD Benchmarks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jarrar-2023-salma-arabic-sense-annotated-corpus/)** *(2023 · 29 citations)* Arabic word sense disambiguation (WSD) has lagged because the language had no sense-annotated corpus and no ready sense inventory. 3. **[ArabicNLU 2024: The First Arabic Natural Language Understanding Shared Task](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/khalilia-2024-arabicnlu-2024-first-arabic-natural/)** *(2024 · 19 citations)* ArabicNLU 2024 was the first shared task on lexical disambiguation in Arabic. The organizers argue that Arabic's rich morphology makes many words ambiguous, and that progress has been slow mainly because annotated data is scarce. The task had two subtasks. In Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), systems choose the right… 4. **[Context-Gloss Augmentation for Improving Arabic Target Sense Verification](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/malaysha-2023-context-gloss-augmentation-improving-arabic/)** *(2023 · 11 citations)* Arabic has very few sense-annotated resources. The only sizeable context-gloss collection for target sense verification (TSV) is ArabGlossBERT. TSV asks whether a given dictionary definition matches a target word's meaning in a sentence. It is a binary yes/no decision, not a choice among all senses.
