Two questions count as equivalent when they would receive the same answer. The task is hard because Arabic has little labelled Q2Q data, a rich morphology, and many dialects that differ from Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). 2. **[SPARTA: Speaker Profiling for ARabic TAlk](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/farhan-2020-sparta-speaker-profiling-arabic-talk/)** *(2020)* The paper addresses speaker profiling from Arabic audio. Its goal is to infer three traits of the person talking: gender, emotional tone and dialect. Arabic speech resources are scarce, so the authors pooled six publicly obtainable corpora. They cleaned and re-segmented the data and published fixed train/dev/test… ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Multi-dialect Arabic BERT for Country-level Dialect Identification ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2020.wanlp-1.10/) Proceedings of the Fifth Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop · no summary yet**Bashar Talafha et al.*2020 · 77 citations* 2. **[ALUE: Arabic Language Understanding Evaluation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2021.wanlp-1.18/) Proceedings of the Sixth Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop · no summary yet**Haitham Seelawi et al.*2021 · 48 citations* 3. **[Mawdoo3 AI at MADAR Shared Task: Arabic Tweet Dialect Identification ↗](https://aclanthology.org/W19-4629/) Proceedings of the Fourth Arabic Natural Language Processing Workshop · no summary yet**Bashar Talafha et al.*2019 · 19 citations* 4. **[Deep Contextualized Pairwise Semantic Similarity for Arabic Language Questions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/al-bataineh-2019-deep-contextualized-pairwise-semantic-similarity/) [Proceedings - International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence, TAI](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/proceedings-international-conference-on-tools-with-artificial-intelligence-tai/)**Hesham Al-Bataineh, Wael Farhan, Ahmad Mustafa, et al.*2019 · 16 citations* 5. **[NSURL-2019 Shared Task 8: Semantic Question Similarity in Arabic ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.09691) arXiv:1909.09691 · no summary yet**Haitham Seelawi et al.*2019 · 6 citations* 6.
