Wild to see our AraBERT (from 4 years ago!) pop up in the top 10 finetuned models on HF and till going strong.
Surprised to see our (@fadybaly) Arabic BERT model from 4 years ago as the TOP 10 most finetuned model on the @huggingface hub. It now has ~9M total downloads, with ~600K monthly. Thread/Paper: nitter.gq/didaoh/status/19553817…

Happy New Year to the Arabic NLP community. An awsome and powerful set of Arabic language models are just released by @wissam_antoun @fadybaly at @aubmindlab Isn't 2021 great already? 👏👏👏
Replying to @wissam_antoun
We're looking forward to new research directions and applications in Arabic NLP #ArabicNLP #NLProc Note: We're currently working on a detector to facilitate the detection of outputs of AraGPT2 models 5/5

IT'S FINALLY OUT! After months of work, I'm happy to announce that the first video in a series on visualizing deep learning is out. It's on visualizing the structure of a neural network. RTs appreciated :) youtu.be/UOvPeC8WOt8
