Abstract

People crave interaction and connection with other people. Therefore, social media became the center of society’s life. Among the brightest social media platforms nowadays with a massive number of daily users there is Instagram, which is due to its distinctive features. The excessive revealing of personal life has put users in the spots of getting bullied and harassed and getting toxic revues from other users. Numerous studies have targeted social media to fight its harmful side effects. Nevertheless, most of the datasets that were already available were in English, the Arabic Moroccan dialect ones were not. In this work, the Arabic Moroccan dialect dataset has been extracted from the Instagram platform. Furthermore, feature extraction techniques have been applied to the collected dataset to increase classification accuracy. Afterward, we developed models using machine learning and deep learning algorithms to detect and classify toxicity. For the models’ evaluation, we have used the most used metrics: accuracy, precision, F1-score, and recall. The experimental results gave modest scores of around 70% to 83%. These results imply that the models need improvement due to the lack of available datasets and the preprocessing libraries to handle the Moroccan dialect of Arabic.

Abstract

In the current educational landscape, a large number of educators prefer using generative artificial intelligence techniques to produce textual content to be presented for learning. However, these generated texts may not meet the specific needs of learners or align with their abilities. Many traditional methods and techniques can be employed to assess the complexity of a text, such as traditional readability formulas, but these techniques are time consuming and labor-intensive. In this paper, we introduce a deep learning approach for automatically evaluating the readability of Arabic texts by analyzing and classifying sentences into different difficulty levels within educational content. The initial stage of the proposed approach is preprocessing textual content and leveraging natural language processing (NLP) methodologies for feature extraction, such as Word2Vec. The approach then concentrates on refining and evaluating a deep learning model to classify text into different readability levels. This paper introduces a hybrid classification model that combines convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) layers, attaining an accuracy of 96.68%. This model demonstrates the significance of applying hybrid deep learning models in analyzing educational materials and establishes a foundation for subsequent progress in the field of automated Arabic readability assessment.
