- YallaMorph: A Benchmark for Evaluating Arabic Morphological Generation in Large Language Models (2026)
YallaMorph is a benchmark of over 600,000 test instances for controlled Arabic morphological generation. The task gives a lemma, a part of speech, a gloss and a feature bundle, and the model must produce the surface form, or say that the configuration is invalid. Items cover verbs (active and passive, perfective and… - Computational Morphology and Lexicography Modeling of Modern Standard Arabic Nominals (2024)
The paper models Modern Standard Arabic nouns, adjectives and elatives inside the CAMeL Morph framework (Habash et al., 2022), an open project that uses compatibility rules between allomorphs and an editable lexicon. - Picking Up Where the Linguist Left Off: Mapping Morphology to Phonology through Learning the Residuals (2024)
The task is to produce the spoken form of Cairene Egyptian Arabic words from their underlying morphological representation, using the Egyptian Colloquial Arabic Lexicon as gold. - Camel Morph MSA: A Large-Scale Open-Source Morphological Analyzer for Modern Standard Arabic (2024)
The paper presents an open-source analyzer and generator for Modern Standard Arabic, built in the CAMeL Morph framework. - Morphological Inflection: A Reality Check (2023)
The paper examines how morphological inflection benchmarks are built and scored. It names three problems: uniform sampling by type creates unnatural train-test splits, a single split gives unstable model rankings, and train and test items overlap in uncontrolled ways. The overlap is split into four types of (lemma… - UniMorph 4.0: Universal Morphology (2022)
The paper presents release 4.0 of UniMorph, a multilingual database of inflection tables with a language-independent feature schema. - Morphotactic Modeling in an Open-source Multi-dialectal Arabic Morphological Analyzer and Generator (2022)
The paper describes CAMeL Morph, an open framework for writing Arabic morphology as specifications and compiling them into a database that the Camel Tools analyser and generator can use. - Morphological Analysis and Disambiguation for Gulf Arabic: The Interplay between Resources and Methods (2020)
This is the first full morphological analysis and disambiguation system for Gulf Arabic (Emirati data). The analyser for Gulf Arabic is not written by hand: it is built by paradigm completion from the training split of the Annotated Gumar Corpus (about 202,000 tokens, eight novel excerpts). Two hand-built analysers… - An Arabic Morphological Analyzer and Generator with Copious Features (2018)
The paper presents CALIMA Star, an Arabic analyzer and generator built on the BAMA/SAMA/ALMOR family of pre-compiled six-table databases (three lexicon tables for prefixes, stems and suffixes, three compatibility tables). - CamelParser: A system for Arabic Syntactic Analysis and Morphological Disambiguation (2016)
CamelParser is a public system that builds Arabic dependency trees (in the CATiB style) with the same morphological features that MADAMIRA produces, and then uses the syntax to correct MADAMIRA's choice of case and state. - Improving Arabic Diacritization through Syntactic Analysis (2015)
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.
