Enhancing Semantic Similarity Understanding in Arabic NLP with Nested Embedding Learning

arXiv · Jul 30

This paper introduces a nested embedding learning framework for Arabic NLP, utilizing Matryoshka Embedding Learning and multilingual models. The authors translated sentence similarity datasets into Arabic to enable comprehensive evaluation. Experiments on the Arabic Natural Language Inference dataset show Matryoshka embedding models outperform traditional models by 20-25% in capturing Arabic semantic nuances. Why it matters: This work advances Arabic NLP by providing a new method and evaluation benchmark for semantic similarity, which is crucial for tasks like information retrieval and text understanding.

The Inception Team at NSURL-2019 Task 8: Semantic Question Similarity in Arabic

arXiv · Apr 24

The Inception Team presented a system for Semantic Question Similarity in Arabic as part of the NSURL 2019 Task 8. The system explores different methods for determining question similarity in Arabic. Their best result was an ensemble model using a pre-trained multilingual BERT model, achieving a 95.924% F1-Score and ranking first among nine participating teams. Why it matters: This demonstrates strong performance on a key Arabic NLP task, advancing the state-of-the-art in semantic understanding for the language.
