Researchers have introduced AraSSM, a new bidirectional Mamba encoder specifically designed for Arabic masked language modeling. This model aims to overcome the quadratic scaling limitations of traditional Transformer encoders by utilizing a selective state-space model (SSM) for more efficient sequence modeling. AraSSM was pretrained on a combined corpus of Arabic Wikipedia and CulturaX, and evaluated on several Arabic NLU benchmarks, showing competitive or superior performance compared to existing Transformer-based models on tasks like sentiment classification and named entity recognition.
