The authors compared several systems: Jais, NLLB, GPT-3.5, GPT-4 and a Google Translate round-trip baseline. 3. **[The Arabic Generality Score: Another Dimension of Modeling Arabic Dialectness](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ban-2025-arabic-generality-score-another-dimension/)** *(2025 · 2 citations)* Arabic dialect NLP usually assigns texts discrete dialect labels. Newer work such as ALDi treats dialectness as a continuous value, but that value only measures how far text drifts from MSA. The authors add a second, complementary axis: the Arabic Generality Score (AGS). It rates, on a 0–1 scale, how widely a word is… ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Anastasiia Demidova](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/anastasiia-demidova/) ×2 - [Hanin Atwany](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hanin-atwany/) ×2 - [Nour Rabih](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nour-rabih/) ×2 - [Muhammad Abdul-Mageed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muhammad-abdul-mageed/) - [Nizar Habash](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nizar-habash/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/) ×2: [ArabicNLP 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/arabicnlp/2024/) ×2 - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 17 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [10 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sanad-sha-ban/cited-by/).
