1. LTG-ST at NADI Shared Task 1: Arabic Dialect Identification using a Stacking Classifier (2020 · 15 citations)
   The paper tackles country-level Arabic dialect identification for the NADI 2020 shared task (sub-task 1): each tweet must be assigned to one of 21 Arab countries.
2. NERDz: A Preliminary Dataset of Named Entities for Algerian (2022 · 10 citations)
   Algerian Arabic is a non-standardized spoken variety. It mixes heavily with French and is written in both Latin script (NArabizi) and Arabic script, yet it had no public resource for named entity recognition. This paper presents NERDz, an initial NER dataset built on top of an extended NArabizi treebank. In that…
3. Arabic dialect identification: An in-depth error analysis on the MADAR parallel corpus (2023 · 8 citations)
   The paper asks why fine-grained Arabic dialect identification on the MADAR-26 corpus has stalled. That corpus covers 25 city dialects plus MSA with parallel sentences from the travel domain. A Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB) model with surface features (Salameh et al., 2018) still beats pre-trained transformers on it.…
4. BabelBot at AraFinNLP2024: Fine-tuning T5 for Multi-dialect Intent Detection with Synthetic Data and Model Ensembling (2024 · 2 citations)
   The authors took part in sub-task 1 of the AraFinNLP 2024 shared task. The task asks systems to assign banking customer queries to intent classes when the queries may be written in many Arabic varieties. The training resource, ArBanking77, covers only MSA and Palestinian (PAL). It was produced by machine-translating…
5. Personalizing News Headlines with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (2026 · 1 citation)
   The paper asks whether news headlines can be tailored to individual readers by giving an LLM relevant items from that reader's browsing history.
6. TryggLLM: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Safety in Norwegian (2026)
   Safety evaluation of generative language models has focused mostly on English, and Norwegian has had no dedicated resource for testing whether models produce harmful output.
