In multi-label emotion classification, particularly for low-resource languages like Arabic, the challenges of class imbalance and label correlation hinder model performance, especially in accurately predicting minority emotions. To address…

This study investigates Machine Learning (ML) in the prediction of emojis in Arabic tweets employing the (state-of-the-art) MARBERT model. A corpus of 11379 CA tweets representing multiple Arabic colloquial dialects was collected from X.com…

Given Farsi's speaker base of over 127 million people and the growing availability of digital text, including more than 1.3 million articles on Wikipedia, it is considered a middle-resource language. However, this label quickly crumbles…

We introduce PerSenT, a dataset of crowd-sourced annotations of the sentiment expressed by the authors towards the main entities in news articles. The dataset also includes paragraph-level sentiment annotations to provide more fine-grained…

Language comprehension and commonsense knowledge validation by machines are challenging tasks that are still under researched and evaluated for Arabic text. In this paper, we present a benchmark Arabic dataset for commonsense explanation.…

Feature engineering has long been central to recommender systems, yet effectively leveraging textual item features remains challenging. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled their use as semantic encoders for…

We explore the performance of several state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) models on a large-scale Arabic speech dataset, the SADA (Saudi Audio Dataset for Arabic), which contains 668 hours of high-quality audio from Saudi…

The latest advancements in machine learning and deep learning have brought forth the concept of semantic similarity, which has proven immensely beneficial in multiple applications and has largely replaced keyword search. However, evaluating…
