A Tale of Two Scripts: Transliteration and Post-Correction for Judeo-Arabic

arXiv · Jul 7

The paper introduces a two-step approach for transliterating Judeo-Arabic text (written in Hebrew script) into Arabic script. The method involves character-level mapping followed by post-correction to fix grammatical and orthographic errors. The authors also benchmarked LLMs on the transliteration task and demonstrate that transliteration enables the use of Arabic NLP tools on Judeo-Arabic. Why it matters: This work makes Judeo-Arabic texts more accessible to Arabic NLP, enabling processing and analysis that was previously impossible.

Detecting deepfakes in the presence of code-switching

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

MBZUAI researchers, in collaboration with Monash University, have introduced ArEnAV, a new dataset for deepfake detection featuring Arabic-English code-switching. The dataset comprises 765 hours of manipulated YouTube videos, incorporating intra-utterance code-switching and dialect variations. Experiments showed that code-switching significantly reduces the performance of existing deepfake detectors. Why it matters: This work addresses a critical gap in AI's ability to handle linguistic diversity, particularly in regions where code-switching is prevalent, enhancing the reliability of deepfake detection in real-world scenarios.
