Building resources for Algerian Arabic dialects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Algerian Arabic dialects are under-resourced languages, which lack both corpora and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, although they are increasingly used in written form, especially on social media and forums. We aim through this paper, and for the first time, to build parallel corpora for Algerian dialects, because our ultimate purpose is to achieve a Machine Translation (MT) for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Algerian dialects (AD), in both directions. We also propose language tools to process these dialects. First, we developed a morphological analysis model of dialects by adapting BAMA, a well-known MSA analyzer. Then we propose a diacritization system, based on a MT process which allows to restore the vowels to dialects corpora. And finally, we propose results on machine translation between MSA and Algerian dialects.

Toward a Web-based Speech Corpus for Algerian Arabic Dialectal Varieties
The success of machine learning for automatic speech processing has raised the need for large scale datasets. However, collecting such data is often a challenging task as it implies significant investment involving time and money cost. In this paper, we devise a recipe for building largescale Speech Corpora by harnessing Web resources namely YouTube, other Social Media, Online Radio and TV. We ...

In daily communications, Arabs use local dialects which are hard to identify automatically using conventional classification methods. The dialect identification challenging task becomes more complicated when dealing with an under-resourced dialects belonging to a same county/region. In this paper, we start by analyzing statistically Algerian dialects in order to capture their specificities rela...
متن کاملAn Algerian Arabic-French Code-Switched Corpus
Arabic is not just one language, but rather a collection of dialects in addition to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). While MSA is used in formal situations, dialects are the language of every day life. Until recently, there was very little dialectal Arabic in written form. With the advent of social-media, however, the landscape has changed. We provide the first romanized code-switched Algerian Ara...
