- QAES: First Publicly-Available Trait-Specific Annotations for Automated Scoring of Arabic Essays (2024 · 19 citations)
Arabic automated essay scoring (AES) has lagged behind English mainly because no openly shared Arabic essays carry quality scores, and almost none carry scores per writing trait. - LAILA: A Large Trait-Based Dataset for Arabic Automated Essay Scoring (2026 · 6 citations)
Arabic automated essay scoring (AES) has lagged behind English because few public Arabic datasets exist. Those that do are small, have no per-trait labels, or have no labels at all. The authors address this gap with LAILA. Over one academic year, they gathered 7,859 essays from 4,372 students in 24 Qatari high… - Feature Engineering is not Dead: A Step Towards State of the Art for Arabic Automated Essay Scoring (2025 · 5 citations)
Automated essay scoring for Arabic has received far less attention than for English. Most earlier Arabic work trains and tests on essays written for a single prompt, and there was no open, systematic feature inventory. The authors assemble and publicly release 816 handcrafted features for Arabic AES. They draw on… - Simple But Not Naïve: Fine-Grained Arabic Dialect Identification Using Only N-Grams (2019 · 4 citations)
The paper tackles sentence-level Arabic dialect identification at city granularity. The task is hard because neighbouring dialects share script, much vocabulary and grammar, and cities in the same country can be nearly indistinguishable. Working within the MADAR shared task (25 city dialects plus MSA, 26 classes)… - Corruption-Based Data Augmentation for Arabic Essay Scoring: A Preliminary Study on the Organization Trait (2026)
Arabic automated essay scoring (AES) is held back by small, unbalanced annotated datasets, and few of them have trait-level scores.
