GPTAraEval: A Comprehensive Evaluation of ChatGPT on Arabic NLP
arXiv ·
This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of ChatGPT's performance across 44 Arabic NLP tasks using over 60 datasets. The study compares ChatGPT's capabilities in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Dialectal Arabic (DA) against smaller, fine-tuned models. Results show ChatGPT is outperformed by smaller, fine-tuned models and exhibits limitations in handling Arabic dialects compared to MSA. Why it matters: The work highlights the need for further research and development of Arabic-specific NLP models to overcome the limitations of general-purpose models like ChatGPT.
