The Arabic Parallel Gender Corpus

Summary

The Arabic Parallel Gender Corpus (APGC) is designed to support research on gender bias and personalization in natural language processing applications working on Arabic. The corpus comes in three versions v1.0, v2.0, and v2.1.

APGC v1.0 includes only first-person sentences and was presented in the 2019 paper on "Automatic Gender Identification and Reinflection in Arabic" by Habash et al. in the First workshop on Gender Bias in Natural Language Processing.

APGC v2.0 expands on v1.0 by adding 2nd person targets as well as increasing the total number of sentences over 6.5 times, reaching over 590K words. AGPC v2.0 was introduced in the 2022 paper on "The Arabic Parallel Gender Corpus 2.0: Extensions and Analyses" by Alhafni et al.

APGC v2.1 extends the word-level annotations in v2.0 by marking the genders of both the base words and their pronominal enclitics. AGPC v2.1 was introduced in the 2022 paper on "User-Center Gender Rewriting" by Alhafni et al.

The Arabic Parallel Gender Corpus was developed at the Computational Approaches to Modeling Language (CAMeL) Lab in New York University Abu Dhabi.
