We are releasing an expanded version of Global PIQA! It now covers 141 language varieties and includes parallel and non-parallel splits. We are also releasing an updated preprint.

Last month, we organized the Second Arabic NLP School 2026, co-located with EACL 2026 in Rabat, Morocco. We welcomed 100+ students and 20 mentors for a hands-on program. Huge thanks to everyone who made it possible ✨(Thanks Kareem Darwish for the great photo) arabicnlpschool2026.sigarab.org

I’m happy to share my keynote speech at EACL 2026 in Rabat, Morocco. Exploring 40 years of Arabic’s journey through AI and NLP, from early foundations to generative systems, and outlining a future of stronger collaboration and innovation. underline.io/lecture/1483... @eaclmeeting.bsky.social

🎓 Huge congratulations to my PhD student Bashar Alhafni ... now officially Dr. Alhafni! 🎉 His dissertation is titled "Controlled Natural Language Generation for Morphologically Rich Languages: The Case of Arabic." Proud advisor moment! 👏
