The primary objective is to advance sentiment analysis methodologies tailored to dialectal Arabic. Our work combines data augmentation with a hybrid model that integrates AraBERT and our created sentiment lexicon. Notably, our hybrid model significantly improved performance, reaching an F1-score of 0.74, compared to 0.56 when using only AraBERT. These results highlight the effectiveness of lexicon integration and augmentation strategies in enhancing both the accuracy and robustness of sentiment classification in dialectal Arabic."
