ARAP: Arabic author profiling project for cyber-security

Abstract

In this paper we describe the current state of the ARAP project on Arabic Author Profiling for Cyber-Security funded by the Qatar National Research Fund via the Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar. The project focuses on determining whether a suspicious message is actually a potential threat and, in that case, aims at profiling its author. The contribution of the project lies in the lack of research of this type for Arabic.
