Riyadh to Host International Conference on Arabic Language Computing


The King Salman Global Academy for the Arabic Language will hold its third international conference here, this year tackling “Arabic language computing and linguistic data enrichment”, from October 6 to 7.

The event is expected to draw local, regional, and international institutions involved in the field. Taking part in it will be university professors, and 40 researchers from 22 countries representing entities specialized in the fields to be delved into at the conference, including computational linguistics, computer science, and Arabic language.

Through this conference, the academy hopes to contribute to the integration of the work of computer scientists and linguists in computational linguistics, bridge the knowledge gap, present their work and projects, and enrich Arabic datasets to improve and develop AI models. It also seeks to support Arabic language automated processing and make it accessible, in line with the objectives of the Human Capability Development Program, one of Saudi Vision 2030 programs.

The conference will address topics related to the automated processing of the Arabic language, including machine learning, speech-to-text conversion, automated recognition of images, and topics related to computational linguistics, used in learning and teaching Arabic.
