The paper presents an automated pipeline that generates high‑quality Quranic datasets, including 848 hours of audio and 286,000 annotated utterances, by collecting recitations, segmenting at pause points with a fine‑tuned wav2vec2‑BERT model, transcribing segments, and verifying transcripts using a novel Tasmeea algorithm. It introduces qdat_bench, a benchmark covering phonemes, diacritization, and Tajweed rules, and a custom Quran Phonetic Script (QPS) for encoding Tajweed. A multi‑level CTC model trained on this data achieves a 0.21% phoneme error rate on the test set and 1.94% on qdat_bench, with a 75.8% Tajweed F1 score.

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.
The paper evaluates a multilingual ASR model (MMS‑1B‑all) on a Garrusi Kurdish dataset using a common‑reference staged normalization approach. By normalizing both reference and hypothesis, the authors show that raw Arabic‑script hypotheses yield a 111.70 % WER, which drops to 97.85 % after folding into a reduced orthography, highlighting the impact of orthographic differences on error measurement. A Southern Kurdish fine‑tuned system performs worse, and residual errors are partly due to scoring‑pipeline limitations rather than recognition failures.

The paper presents an empirical study of factual errors in human-written text, focusing on corrections in newspaper articles to build a taxonomy of common mistakes such as kanji misconversions and unit errors. It evaluates large language models’ ability to detect these errors, finding that even advanced models like GPT‑5.4 achieve only a 52% word‑level F1 score on synthetic data, underscoring the difficulty of the task. The work highlights the gap in research on factual error detection in human writing compared to LLM hallucinations.
