The study evaluates large language models for assessing suicide risk in Arabic crisis helpline calls, comparing Arabic and English models. Using de‑identified transcripts from Lebanon’s National Lifeline, the researchers fine‑tuned instruction‑tuned LLMs and transformer encoders, achieving a macro‑F1 of 81.19 and ROC‑AUC of 90.61 for high‑risk calls in Arabic, and 85.00/92.59 in English. The results show that high‑risk calls are more distinguishable than at‑risk calls, and translating to English does not degrade performance, indicating potential for operator‑facing tools.
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.
