1. Arabic Dialect Handling in Hybrid Machine Translation (2010 · 103 citations)
   The paper addresses a weakness of Arabic machine translation: systems trained on Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) struggle with dialectal, spontaneous and noisy input from broadcast transcripts and web text.
2. Creating Arabic LLM Prompts at Scale (2024 · 1 citation)
   Arabic has very few instruction-style training examples (prompts paired with gold answers). Such data is what turns a base LLM into an assistant that follows requests. The authors build this data cheaply in two ways. First, they write PromptSource templates over about 78 public Arabic NLP datasets, which yields…
