ArabianGPT: Native Arabic GPT-based Large Language Model
arXiv ·
The paper introduces ArabianGPT, a suite of transformer-based language models designed specifically for Arabic, including versions with 0.1B and 0.3B parameters. A key component is the AraNizer tokenizer, tailored for Arabic script's morphology. Fine-tuning ArabianGPT-0.1B achieved 95% accuracy in sentiment analysis, up from 56% in the base model, and improved F1 scores in summarization. Why it matters: The models address the gap in native Arabic LLMs, offering better performance on Arabic NLP tasks through tailored architecture and tokenization.
