# MagharibiBERT
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
+
**MagharibiBERT** is a regionally adapted Transformer language model
|
| 29 |
+
for **Maghrebi Arabic**.
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
It is initialized from `UBC-NLP/MARBERT` and further adapted using
|
| 32 |
+
Masked Language Modeling (MLM) on a large multi-source corpus of
|
| 33 |
+
Maghrebi text.
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
The model targets the linguistic and orthographic diversity of
|
| 36 |
+
North African online communication, including Arabic-script dialect,
|
| 37 |
+
Arabizi, spelling variation, and Arabic-French/English code-switching.
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
+
MagharibiBERT is developed by **NumidiaNLP**.

## Regional continued pretraining
|
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
+
MagharibiBERT underwent additional regional continued pretraining on
|
| 62 |
+
a curated mixture of **17 corpora** covering Maghrebi Arabic and
|
| 63 |
+
North African social-media language.
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
+
The training mixture includes material associated with Algeria, Tunisia,
|
| 66 |
+
Morocco, Libya, and cross-regional Maghrebi sources, with explicit
|
| 67 |
+
coverage of Arabic script, Arabizi, and code-mixed text.

## How to use
|
| 83 |
+
|
| 84 |
+
### Fill-mask pipeline
|
| 85 |
+
|
| 86 |
+
```python
|
| 87 |
+
from transformers import pipeline
|
| 88 |
+
|
| 89 |
+
pipe = pipeline(
|
| 90 |
+
"fill-mask",
|
| 91 |
+
model="NumidiaNLP/MagharibiBERT"
|
| 92 |
+
)
|
| 93 |
+
|
| 94 |
+
results = pipe("واش راك [MASK]", top_k=5)
|
| 95 |
+
|
| 96 |
+
for result in results:
|
| 97 |
+
print(result["token_str"], result["score"])
|
| 98 |
+
```
|
| 99 |
+
|
| 100 |
+
### Example output
|
| 101 |
+
|
| 102 |
+
Output produced by the released MagharibiBERT checkpoint:
|
| 103 |
+
|
| 104 |
+
```text
|
| 105 |
+
{"token": "دير", "score": 0.277943}
|
| 106 |
+
{"token": "تهدر", "score": 0.071477}
|
| 107 |
+
{"token": "تدير", "score": 0.062739}
|
| 108 |
+
{"token": "تقول", "score": 0.047855}
|
| 109 |
+
{"token": "تحكي", "score": 0.038360}
|
| 110 |
+
```
|
| 111 |
+
|
| 112 |
+
> Scores depend on the complete masked context. The example above is
|
| 113 |
+
> provided only to demonstrate model usage rather than as an evaluation result.
|
| 114 |
+
|
| 115 |
+
### Load the model directly
|
| 116 |
+
|
| 117 |
+
```python
|
| 118 |
+
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
|
| 119 |
+
|
| 120 |
+
model_name = "NumidiaNLP/MagharibiBERT"
|
| 121 |
|
| 122 |
+
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
|
| 123 |
+
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
|
| 124 |
+
```
|
| 125 |
+

|
| 127 |
|
| 128 |
## Intended use
|
| 129 |
|
| 130 |
+
MagharibiBERT is intended primarily for research involving Maghrebi Arabic,
|
| 131 |
+
including:
|
| 132 |
+
|
| 133 |
+
- hate and offensive language detection,
|
| 134 |
+
- sentiment analysis,
|
| 135 |
+
- dialect identification,
|
| 136 |
+
- Arabizi processing,
|
| 137 |
+
- code-switched text processing,
|
| 138 |
+
- social-media text classification,
|
| 139 |
+
- representation learning for Maghrebi Arabic.

## Intrinsic evaluation
|
| 144 |
+
|
| 145 |
+
On the fixed held-out MLM test set used during development, the released
|
| 146 |
+
checkpoint obtained:
|
| 147 |
+
|
| 148 |
+
| Metric | MagharibiBERT |
|

| MLM loss | 2.8099 |
|
| 151 |
+
| Perplexity | 16.6080 |
|
| 152 |
+
| Masked-token accuracy | 52.42% |
|
| 153 |
+
|
| 154 |
+
Downstream evaluation against MARBERT and other Arabic language models
|
| 155 |
+
is being conducted separately.
|
| 156 |
+
|
| 157 |

---
|
| 158 |
+
|
| 159 |
+
## Limitations
|
| 160 |
+
|
| 161 |
+
Maghrebi Arabic is highly heterogeneous across countries, regions,
|
| 162 |
+
writing systems, platforms, and communities. Performance may therefore
|
| 163 |
+
vary across domains and linguistic varieties.
|
| 164 |
+
|
| 165 |
+
The model should not be interpreted as representing all North African
|
| 166 |
+
languages or all Maghrebi speakers equally.
