This makes culturally loaded figurative language, such as proverbs, especially hard for them. The authors present Jawaher, a manually curated benchmark of Arabic proverbs from 20 Arabic varieties spread across the Arab… 2. **[On the Utility of Pretraining Language Models on Synthetic Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/inciarte-2024-utility-pretraining-language-models-synthetic/)** *(2024 · 3 citations)* Pretraining language models normally needs very large amounts of clean text, which low-resource languages often lack. The authors test whether Arabic models can be pretrained mostly or entirely on machine-produced text.
