The NCAI/SDAIA team builds ALLaM in two stages. First, they continue training Llama-2 checkpoints after expanding the tokenizer vocabulary with Arabic tokens. Then they apply what… 2. **[SmolKalam: Ensemble Quality-Filtered Translation at Scale for High Quality Arabic Post-Training Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alrashed-2025-smolkalam-ensemble-quality-filtered-translation/)** *(2025)* Arabic LLMs have reasonable pre-training corpora, but large post-training sets are scarce. Such sets need multi-turn chats, reasoning traces and tool calls, and unfiltered machine translation is too noisy for this stage. The authors build SmolKalam, an Arabic version of a curated subset of SmolTalk2. Each sample is… ## Also in our library 3 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chadi Helwe](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chadi-helwe/) - [M Saiful Bari](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/m-saiful-bari/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 181 times (of the 140 884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [38 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sultan-alrashed/cited-by/).
