Exploiting Arabic Diacritization for High Quality Automatic Annotation (2016) 1 idea kept

MADAMIRA (with the SAMA analyzer) ranks the candidates as usual; then the candidates are filtered by the edit distance between their diacritized…
CamelParser: A system for Arabic Syntactic Analysis and Morphological Disambiguation (2016)

MADAMIRA chooses a morphological analysis from a ranked list for each word, but it looks only at a small window of neighbouring words and has no syntax.
