# CamelParser-Dialects
**CamelParser-Dialects** is a neural dependency parsing model for **dialectal Arabic** and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), designed under the **CATiB dependency formalism**.
It is based on the **biaffine attention parser** architecture introduced by Dozat and Manning (2017), implemented using [SuPar](https://github.com/yzhangcs/parser).
The model leverages **CamelBERT-MIX**, a pretrained language model trained on a large and diverse Arabic corpus.
Full details are available in our paper:
