LLMs show promise in Arabic NLP tasks, but require substantial resources

A new research paper explores the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in performing morphosyntactic tagging and dependency parsing for the Arabic language. The study evaluates LLMs in zero-shot and retrieval-based in-context learning settings, finding that while LLMs can approach the performance of supervised systems, they require significant annotated data and computational resources. The researchers have made their code and data publicly available. AI

IMPACT LLMs demonstrate potential for complex linguistic analysis in Arabic, though practical application faces resource constraints.

    Arabic Morphosyntactic Tagging and Dependency Parsing with Large Language Models

    arXiv:2603.16718v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLMs perform strongly across NLP, but their ability to produce explicit grammatical analyses remains unclear. Arabic provides a challenging testbed due to its rich morphology and orthographic ambiguity, which create strong morph…
