Innovative NLP Breakthroughs in Hebrew and Arabic at IAHLT

In this presentation, we introduce IAHLT, detailing our organization’s motivations, business model, and focus on linguistic annotation for NLP applications. We’ll present our team and methodology, explaining how we manage multiple projects and handle large datasets. The journey of a document through various linguistic annotation pipelines, ensuring data integrity, will be illustrated. We’ll highlight three key datasets: one focusing on Hebrew morphology and syntax across multiple genres with rich metadata; another on Arabic morphology, covering both written and spoken forms; and a novel corpus of dialectical Arabic, derived from spoken data, designed to mirror the language as it appears in social media.
