• Title: Adapting MARBERT for Improved Arabic Dialect Identification: Submission to the NADI 2021 Shared Task
• Authors: Badr AlKhamissi, Mohamed Gabr, Muhammad ElNokrashy, Khaled Essam
• Abstract summary: We tackle the Nuanced Arabic Dialect Identification (ADIN) shared task. Tasks are to identify the geographic origin of short Dialectal (DA) and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) utterances at the levels of both country and province. Our final model is an ensemble of variants built on top of MARBERT that achieves an F1-score of 34.03% for DA at the country-level development set.

• Abstract: In this paper, we tackle the Nuanced Arabic Dialect Identification (NADI) shared task (Abdul-Mageed et al., 2021) and demonstrate state-of-the-art results on all of its four subtasks. Tasks are to identify the geographic origin of short Dialectal (DA) and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) utterances at the levels of both country and province. Our final model is an ensemble of variants built on top of MARBERT that achieves an F1-score of 34.03% for DA at the country-level development set -- an improvement of 7.63% from previous work.

  We perform a comprehensive benchmarking for end-to-end transformer ASR, modular HMM-DNN ASR, and human speech recognition. For ASR the end-to-end work led to 12.5%, 27.5%, 23.8% WER; a new performance milestone for the MGB2, MGB3, and MGB5 challenges respectively. Our results suggest that human performance in the Arabic language is still considerably better than the machine with an absolute WER gap of 3.6% on average.
