Addressing the scarcity of native Arabic large language models, ‘ArabianGPT: Native Arabic GPT-based Large Language’ (http://arxiv.org/abs/2402.15313v1) by Anis Koubaa et al. introduces ArabianGPT:

• ArabianGPT models are tailored for the Arabic language’s morphological complexity.
• Introduces the AraNizer tokenizer to handle Arabic script nuances accurately.
• Empirical results showcase impressive improvements in sentiment analysis and summarization.

This research brings focus to the development of language models dedicated to non-Latin languages, which is vital for fostering diversity and inclusion in AI. ArabianGPT’s success in handling Arabic’s linguistic intricacies offers hope for similar initiatives for other languages, potentially catalyzing a broader linguistic representation in the field of NLP.
