Dear Corpora Members,

🌟 Exciting Announcement: OSACT 2024 Workshop 🌟

Calling All Researchers in Computational Linguistics, NLP, and IR Specializing in Arabic Language!

Are you at the forefront of research in low-resource languages, particularly Arabic? Do you delve into the complexities of computational linguistics (CL), natural language processing (NLP), and information retrieval (IR) with a focus on Arabic?

We invite you to explore and contribute to groundbreaking advancements in machine translation, particularly in developing models that seamlessly translate dialectal Arabic text into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).

Moreover, if your research aims to elevate the integrity and dependability of Arabic Large Language Models (LLMs) by innovating in hallucination detection and mitigation strategies, this workshop is a perfect platform for you.

Join us at the 6th Workshop on Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Processing Tools (OSACT6), a hub of innovation and scholarly exchange.

Featured Shared Tasks: Tackling the Forefront Issues in Arabic LLMs and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) Machine Translation

Task 1: Arabic LLMs Hallucination Challenge: Address the critical issue of hallucinated content in Arabic language models. Engage in this vital conversation and present your solutions. Read details: https://osact-lrec.github.io/

Task 2: Dialect to MSA Machine Translation Challenge: Engage in the pivotal task of transforming dialectal Arabic into MSA through innovative translation models. We invite you to utilize your expertise in driving significant advancements in language processing, fostering more effective and meaningful exchanges in the Arabic-speaking world.
