This repository provides a brief description and houses the linguistic annotations for the Tunisian part of the MADAR corpus (Bouamor et al., 2018). These annotations were created during a research project outlined in the following paper, which has been accepted for presentation at the LDK conference scheduled to be held in Vienna in September 2023:

• Gugliotta, E. and Dinarelli, M. (2023). An Empirical Analysis of Task Relations in the Multi-Task Annotation of an Arabizi Corpus

The annotations presented here are the outcome of the same procedure used for the TArC corpus. For additional information and in-depth details, please refer to the TArC repository, or consult the following papers. The papers shed light on the methodology employed and provide a comprehensive understanding of the annotation process carried out for both the MADAR and TArC corpora.

Overview of DATA

In this repository, you will find a collection of linguistic annotations, generated semi-automatically using a Multi-Task Sequence Prediction System and manually validated:

• Transliteration into Arabizi (Arabish level)
• Token classification: Tokens are categorized into three groups - arabizi (representing Arabic words written in Latin script), foreign (indicating foreign words), and emotag (denoting emoticons or smileys tags).
• Normalization in Arabic Script of the tokens classified as arabizi (following the CODA* convention (Habash et al., 2018)).
• Tokenization of the CODAfied texts.
• Part-of-Speech tagging for the arabizi tokens.
• Lemmatization, in CODA* (Arabic-script)
