Recently, large language models (LLMs) have achieved promising progress in the fields of classical Chinese translation and the generation of classical poetry. However, domain-specific research on precise translation and affective-semantic understanding of classical poetry remains limited.
Nuha‑Speech is a new initiative aimed at creating general‑purpose Arabic speech‑large language models (speech‑LLMs). It includes the construction of a large Arabic Speech Question‑Answering corpus with over 1.5 million samples for instruction tuning, supervised fine‑tuning of Qwen‑Omni model variants at various scales, and a systematic evaluation framework with diverse tasks and tailored metrics. The project seeks to establish foundational infrastructure for Arabic speech‑LLMs amid limited Arabic speech resources.

Large language models (LLMs) can generate fluent Arabic answers, yet factual errors remain difficult to detect, localize, explain, and verify. Existing hallucination benchmarks often provide response-level labels, with limited support for identifying the exact erroneous content, explaining why it is incorrect, or selecting the correct factual answer.

RefLAM is a pipeline that converts manuscript page images and clean transcriptions into validated, line-level ground truth for Arabic handwritten text recognition. It combines a deep‑learning page‑segmentation model, a multimodal large language model for structured OCR, and a diacritic‑agnostic fuzzy alignment engine that assigns a confidence score to each line, with a provable correctness guarantee for perfect scores. Using RefLAM, the authors achieved a 75× speedup over manual annotation and released AraMS‑28k, a dataset of 14 historical Arabic manuscripts with detailed annotations.

AraGenre 2026 is a shared task that challenges participants to perform hierarchical, definition-guided Arabic genre classification. Systems must assign each Arabic text segment both a broad communicative genre and a fine-grained specific genre, using natural-language definitions for 74 unseen specific genres in a zero-shot setting. The released datasets include limited synthetic examples for training and development, while the hidden final benchmark contains noisier, naturally occurring text across Modern Standard Arabic, Classical Arabic, and multiple dialects.

PARSA‑Bench is the first dedicated benchmark for evaluating large audio‑language models on Persian, addressing unique challenges such as classical poetry, traditional music, and code‑switching. It comprises 16 tasks—10 of which are new—covering speech understanding, paralinguistic analysis, and culturally grounded audio reasoning. Across most tasks, text‑only baselines outperform audio‑based models, indicating that audio understanding remains the main limitation, except for Persian poetry where prosody provides additional information that audio beats text.
