The paper surveys the state of Explainable AI (XAI) in Arabic NLP, highlighting three gaps: a method gap where Arabic XAI relies mainly on limited post‑hoc techniques; a task gap with most work focused on classification tasks and little on generation, retrieval, or dialogue; and a linguistic gap where explanations rarely address Arabic‑specific phenomena such as morphology, dialects, and diglossia. It proposes a taxonomy of tasks, methods, linguistic units, and evaluation practices, and outlines a research agenda for linguistically grounded Arabic XAI.
Russian and Arabic are among the major languages of scientific communication. Language barriers impede the exchange of research results between these communities, which affects international collaboration and the progress of sustainability-related research.
AraDetox is a newly released multi-dialect Arabic detoxification dataset containing 10,500 harmful social‑media posts and 84,000 detoxified rewrites generated by GPT‑5 and Gemini 2.5 Flash across Modern Standard Arabic, Gulf, Levantine, and Egyptian Arabic. Human evaluation and automatic analyses confirm that the rewrites effectively remove harmful language while preserving meaning, lexical change, and dialectal style. The dataset is publicly available to support future research in Arabic detoxification, safe text generation, and multi‑dialect NLP.

The article reviews how transformer models, retrieval‑grounded pipelines, and large language models are reshaping hadith computational science. It critically evaluates existing literature, highlighting uneven progress: expanded data resources and mature segmentation tasks, yet persistent issues such as narrow corpora, weak benchmark comparability, and limited reproducibility. The authors argue that hadith computation should be viewed as an evidence‑infrastructure problem requiring knowledge integration, provenance, and expert supervision, and they propose a research agenda to strengthen the field’s methodological rigor.

arXiv:2510. 16152v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scientific literature is increasingly fragmented by disciplinary boundaries, specialized terminology, and potentially sparse keyword systems, making it difficult to capture the evolving structure of modern science.
BERTilda is an explainable framework for tracking topic lifecycles in longitudinal text streams. It discovers topics independently in each time window using an embedding‑based topic model, then links topics across adjacent windows via a temporal graph that uses both semantic similarity and a bidirectional coverage signal derived from tweet‑to‑topic attribution. The graph‑based rules identify continuations, splits, merges, disappearances, and unclear transitions, and the method achieves up to 87% agreement with human annotators on a gold‑standard subset.

arXiv:2608. 13580v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jais 2 is a family of Arabic-centric large language models developed jointly by MBZUAI, Cerebras, and Inception, designed to advance Arabic-centric language modeling, with strong performance across the Arabic and culturally grounded benchmarks evaluated in this report.
arXiv:2608. 19230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As language models move from drafting prose to running literature-search agents with tool calls, fabricated references are becoming easier to catch and constrain.
