Papers
- Identifying dialects with textual and acoustic cues (2017 · 24 citations)
This paper describes the Birzeit/Fitchburg team's (ahaqst) entries in two VarDial 2017 DSL shared tasks. The Arabic task (ADI) had five dialect classes. The Swiss-German task (GDI) had four. For Arabic, the organizers supplied ASR transcripts and 400-dimensional I-vectors, and the team also downloaded the raw .wav… - Classifying ASR Transcriptions According to Arabic Dialect (2016 · 15 citations)
The paper reports one team's entries in the Arabic dialect track of the 2016 DSL shared task. Systems had to assign short Buckwalter-transcribed ASR segments to one of five classes: EGY, GLF, LAV, MSA or NOR. The training data had 7619 segments derived from the speech corpus of Ali et al. (2016), and the test set had… - ZCU-NLP at MADAR 2019: Recognizing Arabic Dialects (2019 · 11 citations)
The paper describes the University of West Bohemia entry to the MADAR shared task on fine-grained Arabic dialect identification. Subtask 1 (S-1) assigns a sentence to one of 25 city dialects or MSA. Subtask 2 (S-2) infers a Twitter user's country, out of 21, from their tweets. - UWB at Arabic Reverse Dictionary shared task: Computing the meaning of a gloss (2023 · 1 citation)
The paper describes a University of West Bohemia entry to the KSAA-RD reverse dictionary shared task. Given a short Arabic or English definition (gloss), a system must predict the embedding of the defined word sense, either as an SGNS vector or as an Electra vector. The author deliberately avoided neural networks.… - UWB at SemEval-2026 Task 5: Synsets and their contexts (2026)
This system paper describes a University of West Bohemia entry to SemEval-2026 Task 5. The task asks systems to predict how plausible human annotators find a given WordNet sense of an ambiguous word within short, five-part stories. The stories are from the AmbiStory dataset. Each has three context sentences, a…
