arXiv · Mar 19

The paper introduces AraPoemBERT, an Arabic language model pretrained exclusively on 2.09 million verses of Arabic poetry. AraPoemBERT was evaluated against five other Arabic language models on tasks including poet's gender classification (99.34% accuracy) and poetry sub-meter classification (97.79% accuracy). The model achieved state-of-the-art results in these and other downstream tasks, and is publicly available on Hugging Face. Why it matters: This specialized model advances Arabic NLP by providing a new state-of-the-art tool tailored for the nuances of classical Arabic poetry.
