This is hard because online text mixes Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) with Egyptian colloquial dialect, and earlier Arabic systems used few features, often ignored negation, and lacked dialect coverage. The authors take a semi-supervised… 2. **[Idioms-Proverbs Lexicon for Modern Standard Arabic and Colloquial Sentiment Analysis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ibrahim-2015-idioms-proverbs-lexicon-modern-standard/)** *(2015 · 33 citations)* Sentiment classifiers for Arabic often miss opinions carried by idioms and proverbs. These fixed expressions mean something different from their words taken one by one, and they frequently contain no explicit sentiment words at all. As a result, a word-level system may label a strongly negative comment as neutral.… 3. **[Arabic Inquiry-Answer Dialogue Acts Annotation Schema](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/elmadany-2015-arabic-inquiry-answer-dialogue-acts/)** *(2015 · 14 citations)* The paper addresses the lack of dialogue act (DA) resources for Arabic customer-service conversations. Earlier Arabic schemes targeted general discussion such as TV talk shows, labelled individual words rather than utterances, or used tag sets too narrow to cover suggestions, warnings, corrections and social… 4. **[A Survey of Arabic Dialogues Understanding for Spontaneous Dialogues and Instant Message](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/elmadany-2015-survey-arabic-dialogues-understanding-spontaneous/)** *(2015 · 10 citations)* The authors review what is needed to build the language-understanding part of Arabic dialogue systems, covering both spoken conversations and written chat or instant messages. 5. **[Towards Understanding Egyptian Arabic Dialogues](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/elmadany-2015-towards-understanding-egyptian-arabic-dialogues/)** *(2015 · 10 citations)* The paper addresses dialogue act (DA) classification for Egyptian Arabic. The task is to label each user utterance with the speaker's intent, which is the core of the understanding layer in a dialogue system. Before this work, Arabic DA research had covered only MSA and Tunisian dialect. 6. **[Turn Segmentation into Utterances for Arabic Spontaneous Dialogues and Instance Messages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/elmadany-2015-turn-segmentation-utterances-arabic-spontaneous/)** *(2015 · 3 citations)* The paper addresses how to split a speaker's turn in Egyptian Arabic dialogues and instant messages (IM) into utterances, the smaller units that each carry one dialogue act. ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 6 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Sentiment Analysis For Modern Standard Arabic And Colloquial](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ibrahim-2015-sentiment-analysis-modern-standard-arabic/) [International Journal on Natural Language Computing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/international-journal-on-natural-language-computing/)**Hossam S.
