Arabic Regional Dialect Identification (ARDI) using Pair of Continuous Bag-of-Words and Data Augmentation

profiling is the process of finding characteristics that make up an author's profile. This paper presents a machine learning-based author profiling model for Arabic users, considering the author's regional dialect as a crucial characteristic. Various classification algorithms have been implemented: decision tree, KNN, multilayer perceptron, random forest, and support vector machines. A pair of Continuous Bag-of-Word (CBOW) models has been used for word representation. A well-known data set has been used to evaluate the proposed model and a data augmentation process has been implemented to improve the quality of training data. Support vector machines achieved a 50.52% f1-score, outperforming other models.
