Preface : 5th Workshop Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Processing Tools with Shared Tasks on Qur'an QA and Fine-Grained Hate Speech Detection, OSACT 2022 - Proceedings at Language Resources and Evaluation Conference, LREC 2022

Abstract

Given the success of the first, second, third, and fourth workshops on Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Corpora Processing Tools (OSACT) in LREC 2014, LREC 2016, LREC 2018, and LREC 2020, the fifth workshop comes to encourage researchers and practitioners of Arabic language technologies, including computational linguistics (CL), natural language processing (NLP), and information retrieval (IR) to share and discuss their research efforts, corpora, and tools. The workshop gives special attention to Multilingualism and Language Technology for All, which is one of LREC 2022 hot topics. In addition to the general topics of CL, NLP and IR, the workshop gives a special emphasis on two shared tasks, namely, Qur'an QA and Fine-Grained Hate Speech Detection.
