The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. AraMed: Arabic Medical Question Answering using Pretrained Transformer Language Models (2024 · 16 citations)
   AraMed targets a resource gap: medical question answering research has mostly used English data, and the Arabic medical QA corpora that exist are either tiny (ARmed, 350 questions) or small and skewed (CQA-MD, where truly relevant answers are about 4% of pairs).
2. BALSAM: A Platform for Benchmarking Arabic Large Language Models (2025 · 14 citations)
   Arabic LLMs still lag behind English ones, and the gap is hard to measure. Most Arabic benchmarks use static public data and cover only a narrow set of capabilities. They also lack a hosted platform with hidden test sets, so training-data contamination is likely and progress is difficult to track. A large consortium…
3. KSAA-RD Shared Task: Arabic Reverse Dictionary (2023 · 10 citations)
   The paper reports on KSAA-RD, the first shared task on Arabic reverse dictionaries. A reverse dictionary takes a description of a meaning and returns the matching word, which helps with tip-of-the-tongue cases. There were two tracks. In the monolingual RD track, systems read an Arabic gloss. In the cross-lingual CLRD…
4. KSAA-CAD Shared Task: Contemporary Arabic Dictionary for Reverse Dictionary and Word Sense Disambiguation (2024 · 5 citations)
   KSAA-CAD is the second edition of the King Salman Global Academy's shared task on Contemporary Arabic lexical semantics.
5. KSAA-2026 Shared Task on Arabic Speech Dictation with Automatic Diacritization (2026 · 4 citations)
   The KSAA-2026 shared task, held at OSACT7, targets a long-standing problem in Arabic NLP: restoring full diacritics to text that comes from speech.
6. Evaluation of Large Language Models on Arabic Punctuation Prediction (2025 · 1 citation)
   The paper asks how well current large language models restore punctuation in Arabic text. This task matters for cleaning up speech-recognition output and for downstream translation, and had not been tested with LLMs for Arabic. The KSAA team assembled a fresh dataset for predicting where punctuation belongs in Arabic…
7. muNERa at WojoodNER 2024: Multi-tasking NER Approach (2024 · 1 citation)
   The paper tackles fine-grained Arabic named entity recognition in the WojoodNER 2024 shared task, covering both the flat and nested subtasks. The Wojood Fine corpus labels entities on three levels: parent tags, sub-tags and sub-sub-tags. Spans can also sit inside other spans, so one token may carry many labels at once.
