ArBanking77 Corpus
--------
ArBanking77 consists of 31,404 (MSA and Palestinian dialect) that are manually Arabized and localized from the original English Banking77 dataset; which consists of 13,083 queries. Each query is classified into one of the 77 classes (intents) including card arrival, card linking, exchange rate, and automatic top-up. A neural model based on AraBERT was fine-tuned on the ArBanking77 dataset (F1-score 92% for MSA, 90% for PAL)


Corpus Download
--------
A sample data is available in the `data` directory. But the entire ArBanking77 corpus is 
available to download upon request for academic and commercial use. Request to download
