We are excited to announce that ArabicNLP 2025 will now be held over 🔥 two days 🔥for the first time! The conference, co-located with #EMNLP2025, will take place on November 8-9. Stay tuned for the full program!

We are excited to share that CAMeL Lab is at #ACL2025 🇦🇹, presenting the following papers: - "Enhancing Text Editing for Grammatical Error Correction: Arabic as a Case Study" - (Main Conf) - "A Large and Balanced Corpus for Fine-grained Arabic Readability Assessment" - (Findings) - "Guidelines for Fine-grained Sentence-level Arabic Readability Annotation" - (LAW workshop) - "Proper Noun Diacritization for Arabic Wikipedia: A Benchmark Dataset" - (WikiNLP workshop @WikiResearch) Find all the first authors around at #ACL2025 @balhafni, Nizar Habash, @khalid_elmadani, and @rawanessam!

We are excited to learn that ArabicNLP is 🔥 #17 🔥among the top publication venues in “Computational Linguistics” according to Google’s 2025 Scholar Metrics. The ranking is calculated based on the citation counts of the papers published within the last 5 years, (2020-2025) This would not have been possible without the vibrant community of researchers producing high-quality cutting-edge work. We look forward to seeing more exciting topics and papers in ArabicNLP. Shukran everyone! scholar.google.com/citations?view…
