The **AraRoBERTa** models are mono-dialectal Arabic models trained on a country-level dialect. AraRoBERTa uses RoBERTa base config. More details are available in the paper [click](https://aclanthology.org/2022.wanlp-1.24/).

The following are the AraRoBERTa seven dialectal variations:

* [AraRoBERTa-SA](https://huggingface.co/reemalyami/AraRoBERTa-SA): Saudi Arabia (SA) dialect.
* [AraRoBERTa-EGY](https://huggingface.co/reemalyami/AraRoBERTa-EGY): Egypt (EGY) dialect.
* [AraRoBERTa-KU](https://huggingface.co/reemalyami/AraRoBERTa-KU): Kuwait (KU) dialect.
* [AraRoBERTa-OM](https://huggingface.co/reemalyami/AraRoBERTa-OM): Oman (OM) dialect.
* [AraRoBERTa-LB](https://huggingface.co/reemalyami/AraRoBERTa-LB): Lebanon (LB) dialect.
* [AraRoBERTa-JO](https://huggingface.co/reemalyami/AraRoBERTa-JO): Jordan (JO) dialect.
* [AraRoBERTa-DZ](https://huggingface.co/reemalyami/AraRoBERTa-DZ): Algeria (DZ) dialect
