• Abstract: In the context of low-resource languages, the Algerian dialect (AD) faces challenges due to the absence of annotated corpora, hindering its effective processing, notably in Machine Learning (ML) applications reliant on corpora for training and assessment. This study outlines the development process of a specialized corpus for Fake News (FN) detection and sentiment analysis (SA) in AD called FASSILA. This corpus comprises 10,087 sentences, encompassing over 19,497 unique words in AD, and addresses the significant lack of linguistic resources in the language and covers seven distinct domains. We propose an annotation scheme for FN detection and SA, detailing the data collection, cleaning, and labelling process. Remarkable Inter-Annotator Agreement indicates that the annotation scheme produces consistent annotations of high quality. Subsequent classification experiments using BERT-based models and ML models are presented, demonstrate promising results and highlight avenues for further research. The dataset is made freely available on GitHub (https://github.com/amincoding/FASSILA) to facilitate future advancements in the field.

  RAAMove is a comprehensive corpus dedicated to the annotation of move structures in Research Article (RA) abstracts. The corpus is constructed through two stages: first, expert annotators manually annotate high-quality data; then, based on the human-annotated data, a BERT-based model is employed for automatic annotation. The result is a large-scale and high-quality corpus comprising 33,988 annotated instances.

  State-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) models are trained on massive training corpora, and report a superlative performance on evaluation datasets. This survey delves into an important attribute of these datasets: the dialect of a language. Motivated by the performance degradation of NLP models for dialectic datasets and its implications for the equity of language technologies, we survey past research in NLP for dialects in terms of datasets, and approaches.
