The User-Aware Arabic Gender Rewriter

Bashar Alhafni, Ossama Obeid, Nizar Habash


Abstract
We introduce the User-Aware Arabic Gender Rewriter, a user-centric web-based system for Arabic gender rewriting in contexts involving two users. The system takes either Arabic or English sentences as input, and provides users with the ability to specify their desired first and/or second person target genders. The system outputs gender rewritten alternatives of the Arabic sentences (provided directly or as translation outputs) to match the target users’ gender preferences.
