Conference URL: https://arabicnlp2025.sigarab.org/

We invite long (up to 8 pages), short (up to 4 pages), and demo paper (up to 4 pages) submissions. Long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the program committee; presentation mode does not reflect the quality of the work.


Theme: Bridging Modalities: Advancing Arabic NLP

Submissions may include work in progress or completed research, with a clear focus on Arabic NLP, covering standard Arabic, dialectal, or classical. This year, we focus on advancing the three key modalities: text, speech, and vision. We encourage research that explores modeling, novel applications, and new resources. Papers on related languages, such as Semitic languages or those using Arabic script, are welcome if they offer insights relevant to Arabic NLP. Work using Arabic resources for other languages is also encouraged. We welcome descriptions of commercial systems, position papers, and surveys on the above topics, with detailed information on technical contributions and added value to the community. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Enabling Technologies:

Text: Language models, diacritization, morphological analysis, lemmatization, tokenization, POS tagging, syntactic and semantic parsing, named entity recognition, disambiguation, sentiment analysis, Arabic dialect modeling, etc.

Speech & Vision: Speech recognition, speech synthesis, dialect identification, optical character recognition, image/video understanding, image/video generation, etc.

Applications: Assistive technologies, human-computer interaction, social media analytics, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic applications.
Resources: Multimodal corpora (text, speech, vision), annotation tools, lexical and dictionaries, etc.
