1. The AraGenEval Shared Task on Arabic Authorship Style Transfer and AI Generated Text Detection (2025 · 36 citations)
   AraGenEval was a shared task at ArabicNLP 2025 (co-located with EMNLP 2025). It filled a gap: Arabic had no dedicated benchmark for imitating an author's style or for telling human writing from machine writing. The organizers defined three subtasks. The first, Authorship Style Transfer, rewrites a formal Arabic…
2. AbjadGenEval: Abjad AI Generated Text Detection Shared Task for Languages Using Arabic Script at AbjadNLP 2026 (2026 · 10 citations)
   AbjadGenEval is a shared task held at the AbjadNLP workshop (EACL 2026). It tests whether systems can tell human-written news from LLM-generated news in languages written in Arabic script. The organizers argue that existing detectors were built mostly for English and break down on Arabic-script text, where rich…
3. The NakbaVirality Shared Task on Multimodal Virality Prediction in High-Stakes Discourse (2026 · 1 citation)
   NakbaVirality is a shared task, run at the Nakba-NLP workshop (LREC 2026), on predicting whether a social media post about the post-October-7-2023 conflict will become viral.

   Arabic genre identification is hampered by scarce labelled data and by wide variation across Modern Standard Arabic, Classical Arabic, dialects, diacritisation and spelling habits.
5. AraSentEval 2026: A Shared Task on Sentiment Analysis and Swapping in Arabic (2026)
   AraSentEval is a shared task held at OSACT7 (LREC 2026). It targets two weak spots in Arabic sentiment work. The first is that most benchmarks cover MSA or only a few dialects. The second is that controllable sentiment generation is barely studied. The organisers set up two subtasks:
