The 4th Workshop on Arabic Corpus Linguistics (WACL-4) [1]

WACL4 AT COLING’2025

WITH FOCUS ON ARABIC DIALECTS

The field of Arabic language research using corpora and corpus methods has experienced significant growth and development in recent years. What once were isolated efforts have now transformed into a vibrant and expansive area of study, advancing rapidly across multiple dimensions in both corpus and computational linguistics. Building upon the success of previous editions--WACL-1 in 2011, WACL-2 in 2013 in conjunction with the Corpus Linguistics Conference at Lancaster University, and WACL-3 in 2019 at the Corpus Linguistics 2019 conference at Cardiff University--we are excited to announce the fourth edition of the Workshop on Arabic Corpus Linguistics (WACL-4).

The primary objectives of WACL-4 are to highlight the latest developments in the creation, annotation, and application of Arabic corpora, including the introduction of new corpora and advancements in annotation techniques, while fostering collaboration among researchers from diverse institutions and regions to stimulate joint research projects and interdisciplinary initiatives. This edition will place a special emphasis on the study of Arabic dialects, including non-standard and regional varieties, to broaden the understanding of Arabic in its various manifestations and support research on under-resourced linguistic varieties. Additionally, WACL-4 aims to encourage the development and refinement of Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems and tools tailored for Arabic, integrating corpora into NLP workflows, creating new computational tools, and evaluating existing systems to improve their efficacy in processing Arabic text.

The workshop will be held online on January 20th, 2025 in conjunction with the 31st edition of COLING in 2025 in Abu Dhabi (UAE).

We are pleased to share the programme of WACL4 2025 with you.
