Unreliable or spam posts degrade downstream tasks such as sentiment analysis and rumor detection, and Arabic had received little attention here. The authors collected about 17 million hashtagged Arabic tweets over two weeks and filtered… 2. **[Methodical Evaluation of Arabic Word Embeddings](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/elrazzaz-2017-methodical-evaluation-arabic-word-embeddings/)** *(2017 · 47 citations)* The paper tackles the lack of a proper way to judge the quality of Arabic word embeddings. Earlier work mostly machine-translated English analogy sets, which leads to errors, irrelevant questions, and missing Arabic-specific relations. The authors had an Arabic linguist define nine relation types, such as capital… 3. **[A Semi-Supervised BERT Approach for Arabic Named Entity Recognition](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/helwe-2020-semi-supervised-bert-approach-arabic/)** *(2020 · 25 citations)* The paper tackles Arabic named entity recognition (NER), which is hard for several reasons. Arabic script has no capital letters, many names double as ordinary nouns or adjectives, the morphology is rich, and annotated corpora are scarce. The authors restrict the task to person, location and organization names in BIO… 4. **[Assessing Arabic Weblog Credibility via Deep Co-learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/helwe-2019-assessing-arabic-weblog-credibility-deep/)** *(2019 · 24 citations)* The paper tackles automatic credibility assessment of Arabic blog posts when labeled data is very scarce. The only public resource is the crowdsourced corpus of Al Zaatari et al. (2016), with 268 posts. Each post is marked credible, fairly credible or not credible, and the posts cover topics such as regional wars and… 5. **[DiaLex: A Benchmark for Evaluating Multidialectal Arabic Word Embeddings](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mageed-2021-dialex-benchmark-evaluating-multidialectal-arabic/)** *(2021 · 3 citations)* Arabic dialects had no shared way to check whether word embeddings capture their vocabulary and grammar. Earlier analogy benchmarks for Arabic covered only Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) or were translated from English. DiaLex fills this gap. It is a hand-built set of word pairs for Algerian, Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian… 6. **[ARAFA: An LLM-Generated Arabic Fact-Checking Dataset](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/khalil-2026-arafa-llm-generated-arabic-fact/)** *(2026)* Arabic automatic fact-checking has lacked a large, general-domain training resource. Earlier Arabic sets such as AraFacts and AraStance are small and mostly limited to news or posts on X. The authors build ARAFA, a Modern Standard Arabic dataset produced almost entirely by LLMs, using a three-stage pipeline: 7. **[DIA2 - a Comprehensive and Diverse Diacritized Arabic Corpus for NLP Research](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dekmak-2026-dia2-comprehensive-diverse-diacritized-arabic/)** *(2026)* Arabic NLP and Arabic LLMs lack large, clean, natively written training text. Existing big corpora often depend on noisy web crawls, include machine-translated material, skip systematic deduplication, or strip diacritics, even though diacritics carry grammatical and lexical distinctions that undiacritized script… ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chadi Helwe](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chadi-helwe/) ×3 - [Khaled Shaban](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/khaled-shaban/) ×3 - [Wassim El-Hajj](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wassim-el-hajj/) ×3 - [Hazem Hajj](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hazem-hajj/) ×2 - [AbdelRahim Elmadany](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abdelrahim-elmadany/) - [Ayman Al Zaatari](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ayman-al-zaatari/) - [El Moatez Billah Nagoudi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/el-moatez-billah-nagoudi/) - [Jad Doughman](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jad-doughman/) - [Muhammad Abdul-Mageed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muhammad-abdul-mageed/) - [Rim El Ballouli](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rim-el-ballouli/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop (WANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/) ×4: [WANLP 2021](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2021/), [WANLP 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2020/), [WANLP 2019](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2019/), [WANLP 2017](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wanlp/2017/) - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2017](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2017/) - [Workshop on Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Processing Tools with Shared Tasks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/osact/): [Workshop on Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Processing Tools with Shared Tasks 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/osact/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 32 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [22 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shady-elbassuoni/cited-by/).
