CAMeLBERT-MSA QALB-2014 GED-13 Model

Model description

CAMeLBERT-MSA GED-13 Model is a Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) grammatical error detection (GED) model that was built by fine-tuning the CAMeLBERT-MSA model. For the fine-tuning, we used the QALB-2014 dataset. Please note that this model was fine-tuned on morphologically preprocessed text. Our fine-tuning procedure and the hyperparameters we used can be found in our paper "Advancements in Arabic Grammatical Error Detection and Correction: An Empirical Investigation." Our fine-tuning code and data can be found here.

Intended uses

You can use the CAMeLBERT-MSA QALB-2014 GED-13 model as part of the transformers pipeline.

How to use

To use the model with a transformers pipeline:

>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> ged = pipeline('token-classification', model='CAMeL-Lab/camelbert-msa-qalb14-ged-13')
>>> text = 'و قال له انه يحب اكل الطعام بكثره'
>>> ged(text)

    abstract = "Grammatical error correction (GEC) is a well-explored problem in English with many existing models and datasets. However, research on GEC in morphologically rich languages has been limited due to challenges such as data scarcity and language complexity. In this paper, we present the first results on Arabic GEC using two newly developed Transformer-based pretrained sequence-to-sequence models. We also define the task of multi-class Arabic grammatical error detection (GED) and present the first results on multi-class Arabic GED. We show that using GED information as auxiliary input in GEC models improves GEC performance across three datasets spanning different genres. Moreover, we also investigate the use of contextual morphological preprocessing in aiding GEC systems. Our models achieve SOTA results on two Arabic GEC shared task datasets and establish a strong benchmark on a recently created dataset. We make our code, data, and pretrained models publicly available.",
