Most Arabic benchmarks use static public data and cover only a narrow set of capabilities. They also lack a hosted platform with hidden test sets, so training-data contamination is likely and progress is difficult to track. A large consortium… 3. **[KSAA-RD Shared Task: Arabic Reverse Dictionary](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/matham-2023-ksaa-rd-shared-task-arabic/)** *(2023 · 10 citations)* The paper reports on KSAA-RD, the first shared task on Arabic reverse dictionaries. A reverse dictionary takes a description of a meaning and returns the matching word, which helps with tip-of-the-tongue cases. There were two tracks. In the monolingual RD track, systems read an Arabic gloss. In the cross-lingual CLRD… 4. **[KSAA-CAD Shared Task: Contemporary Arabic Dictionary for Reverse Dictionary and Word Sense Disambiguation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alshammari-2024-ksaa-cad-shared-task-contemporary/)** *(2024 · 5 citations)* KSAA-CAD is the second edition of the King Salman Global Academy's shared task on Contemporary Arabic lexical semantics. 5. **[KSAA-2026 Shared Task on Arabic Speech Dictation with Automatic Diacritization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wazrah-2026-ksaa-2026-shared-task-arabic/)** *(2026 · 4 citations)* The KSAA-2026 shared task, held at OSACT7, targets a long-standing problem in Arabic NLP: restoring full diacritics to text that comes from speech. 6. **[Evaluation of Large Language Models on Arabic Punctuation Prediction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wazrah-2025-evaluation-large-language-models-arabic/)** *(2025 · 1 citation)* The paper asks how well current large language models restore punctuation in Arabic text. This task matters for cleaning up speech-recognition output and for downstream translation, and had not been tested with LLMs for Arabic. The KSAA team assembled a fresh dataset for predicting where punctuation belongs in Arabic… 7. **[muNERa at WojoodNER 2024: Multi-tasking NER Approach](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alotaibi-2024-munera-wojoodner-2024-multi-tasking/)** *(2024 · 1 citation)* The paper tackles fine-grained Arabic named entity recognition in the WojoodNER 2024 shared task, covering both the flat and nested subtasks. The Wojood Fine corpus labels entities on three levels: parent tags, sub-tags and sub-sub-tags. Spans can also sit inside other spans, so one token may carry many labels at once. ## Co-authors here 12 of 29 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Asma Al Wazrah](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/asma-al-wazrah/) ×5 - [Abdulrahman AlOsaimy](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abdulrahman-alosaimy/) ×3 - [Afrah Altamimi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/afrah-altamimi/) ×3 - [Amal Almazrua](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/amal-almazrua/) ×3 - [Rawan Al-Matham](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rawan-al-matham/) ×3 - [Muneera Alhoshan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muneera-alhoshan/) ×2 - [Raghad Al-Rasheed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/raghad-al-rasheed/) ×2 - [Rawan Almatham](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rawan-almatham/) ×2 - [Sarah Alhumoud](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sarah-alhumoud/) ×2 - [Abdullah I.
