Dhati+: Fine-tuned Large Language Models for Arabic Subjectivity Evaluation
This paper introduces AraDhati+, a new comprehensive dataset for Arabic subjectivity analysis created by combining existing datasets like ASTD, LABR, HARD, and SANAD. The researchers fine-tuned Arabic language models including XLM-RoBERTa, AraBERT, and ArabianGPT on AraDhati+ for subjectivity classification. An ensemble decision approach achieved 97.79% accuracy. Why it matters: The work addresses the under-resourced nature of Arabic NLP by providing a new dataset and demonstrating strong results in subjectivity classification, advancing sentiment analysis capabilities for the Arabic language.
