    Syrian morphologically-annotated corpus (60K tokens). Each token is annotated with 16 different features.(See Article  , see About).

    Four corpora consists of about (1.2 million tokens) that we collected from different social media platforms. The Yemeni corpus (~1.05M tokens) was collected automatically from Twitter, while the other three dialects (~50K tokens each) were manually collected from Facebook and YouTube. Each word in the four corpora was annotated with different morphological features. (See Article  , see About).

  • The fastest and most accurate (See Article).

  • Pipeline: performs several task together. Given a sentence as input it tags all words with: Lemma, single-word sense, multi-word sense, and NER. The sense disambiguation is done using the ArabGlossBER TSV model using our single and multi word sense inventory (see Article). The lemmatization is done using Alma and the NER is done using Wojood.

    ArabGlossBERT dataset: 167K context-gloss pairs, labeled with True/False, to train a TSV model (see Article). The dataset was also augmented with more pairs (See Article).

The dataset encompasses the 30 articles of international human rights law, about 60 pairs for each article. Each pair was manually classified into one of three categories (Biased against Palestine, Biased against Israel, No Bias) by 12 well-trained law master’s students.
