ADI-20: Arabic Dialect Identification Dataset

ADI-20 extends ADI-17 to 20 Arabic varieties. This repository contains the additional data and manifests required to extend ADI-17 into the full ADI-20 dataset used in the paper “ADI-20: Arabic Dialect Identification dataset and models”.

The additional files also include the CSV manifests for ADI-20-53h, the sampled training subset used in the paper for controlled-data experiments.

Official model implementations and training examples are available here:
