In this paper, we introduce a comprehensive benchmark for Persian (Farsi) text embeddings, built upon the Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB). Our benchmark includes 63 datasets spanning seven different tasks: classification,…
This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation framework for assessing the cultural competence of large language models (LLMs) in Persian. Existing Persian cultural benchmarks rely predominantly on multiple-choice formats and…
Keyphrases are a very short summary of an input text and provide the main subjects discussed in the text. Keyphrase extraction is a useful upstream task and can be used in various natural language processing problems, for example, text…
Large language models predominantly reflect Western cultures, largely due to the dominance of English-centric training data. This imbalance presents a significant challenge, as LLMs are increasingly used across diverse contexts without…
Today, Social networks such as Twitter are the most widely used platforms for communication of people. Analyzing this data has useful information to recognize the opinion of people in tweets. Sentiment analysis plays a vital role in NLP,…
Sentiment analysis refers to the use of natural language processing to identify and extract subjective information from textual resources. One approach for sentiment extraction is using a sentiment lexicon. A sentiment lexicon is a set of…
Persian music, with its unique tonalities, modal systems (Dastgah), and rhythmic structures, presents significant challenges for music generation models trained primarily on Western music. We address this gap by curating the first…
Being aware of important news is crucial for staying informed and making well-informed decisions efficiently. Natural Language Processing (NLP) approaches can significantly automate this process. This paper introduces the detection of…
In this paper we explore the problem of document summarization in Persian language from two distinct angles. In our first approach, we modify a popular and widely cited Persian document summarization framework to see how it works on a…
Recently, generative AIs like ChatGPT have become available to the wide public. These tools can for instance be used by students to generate essays or whole theses. But how does a teacher know whether a text is written by a student or an…
Sign Language Recognition (SLR) is a fast-growing field that aims to fill the communication gaps between the hearing-impaired and people without hearing loss. Existing solutions for Persian Sign Language (PSL) are limited to word-level…
Persian poses unique audio understanding challenges through its classical poetry, traditional music, and pervasive code-switching - none captured by existing benchmarks. We introduce PARSA-Bench (Persian Audio Reasoning and Speech…
Large language models demonstrate remarkable proficiency in various linguistic tasks and have extensive knowledge across various domains. Although they perform best in English, their ability in other languages is notable too. In contrast,…
Punctuation restoration is essential for improving the readability and downstream utility of automatic speech recognition (ASR) outputs, yet remains underexplored for Persian despite its importance. We introduce PersianPunc, a large-scale,…
Recent advances in language models (LMs), have demonstrated significant efficacy in tasks related to the arts and humanities. While LMs have exhibited exceptional performance across a wide range of natural language processing tasks, there…
Generative large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional proficiency in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including machine translation, question answering, text summarization, and natural language understanding.…
We present Persian Question Answering Dataset (PQuAD), a crowdsourced reading comprehension dataset on Persian Wikipedia articles. It includes 80,000 questions along with their answers, with 25% of the questions being adversarially…
Online hate speech threatens online civility, particularly in low-resource and multilingual environments. Counter-narratives offer a promising solution by promoting constructive responses to hate speech. However, automatic counter-narrative…
In order to provide benchmark performance for Urdu text document classification, the contribution of this paper is manifold. First, it pro-vides a publicly available benchmark dataset manually tagged against 6 classes. Second, it…
Emotion recognition is one of the machine learning applications which can be done using text, speech, or image data gathered from social media spaces. Detecting emotion can help us in different fields, including opinion mining. With the…
