Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

AI-based natural language processing (NLP) technologies, driven by advancements in deep learning and the rise of large language models, have seen broad applications in the real world, such as information extraction, information retrieval, machine translation, question answering, and conversational systems. These technologies are also extensively used in scientific fields, including scientific text understanding, biomedical information processing, and domain knowledge construction. However, many unresolved theoretical and technological challenges remain in this field, which require further investigation. This Special Issue aims to address these open challenges by inviting scholarly contributions that focus on emerging approaches and applications in NLP. We welcome original, unpublished research in all aspects of AI-based computational linguistics and natural language processing.

Moroccan Law 55.19 aims to streamline administrative procedures, fostering trust between citizens and public administrations. To implement this law effectively and enhance public service quality, it is essential to use the Moroccan dialect to involve a wide range of people by leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques customized to its specific linguistic characteristics. It is worth noting that the Moroccan dialect presents a unique linguistic landscape, marked by the coexistence of multiple texts. Though it has emerged as the preferred medium of communication on social media, reaching wide audiences, its perceived difficulty of comprehension remains unaddressed. This article introduces a new approach to addressing these challenges. First, we compiled and processed a dataset of Moroccan dialect requests for public administration documents, employing a new augmentation technique to enhance its size and diversity. Second, we conducted text classification experiments using various machine learning algorithms, ranging from traditional methods to advanced large language models (LLMs), to categorize the requests into three classes. The results indicate promising outcomes, with an accuracy of more than 80% for LLMs. Finally, we propose a chatbot system architecture for deploying the most efficient classification algorithm. This solution also contains a voice assistant system that can contribute to the social inclusion of illiterate people. The article concludes by outlining potential avenues for future research.

Pretrained language models (PLMs) have significantly advanced natural language processing (NLP), establishing the "pretraining + fine-tuning" paradigm as a cornerstone approach in the field. However, the vast size and computational demands of transformer-based PLMs present challenges, particularly regarding storage efficiency and processing speed. This paper addresses these limitations by proposing a novel lightweight PLM optimized for accurately understanding domain-specific computer terminology. Our method involves a pipeline parallelism algorithm designed to accelerate training. It is paired with an innovative mixed compression strategy that combines pruning and knowledge distillation to effectively reduce the model size while preserving its performance. The model is further fine-tuned using a dataset that mixes source and target languages to enhance its versatility. Comprehensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed approach successfully achieves a balance between model efficiency and performance, offering a scalable solution for NLP tasks involving specialized terminology.
