Abed at KSAA-RD Shared Task: Enhancing Arabic Word Embedding with Modified BERT Multilingual

Abdelrahim Qaddoumi


Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach to the Arabic Reverse Dictionary Shared Task at WANLP 2023 by leveraging the BERT Multilingual model and introducing modifications augmentation and using a multi attention head. The proposed method aims to enhance the performance of the model in understanding and generating word embeddings for Arabic definitions, both in monolingual and cross-lingual contexts. It achieved good results compared to benchmark and other models in the shared task 1 and 2.
