- Yassine Benajiba, Mona T. Diab. 2011. A Web Application for Dialectal Arabic Text Annotation. Abstract: Design and implementation of an application which allows many annotators to annotate data and enter the information into a central database is not a trivial task. Such an application has to guarantee a high level of security, consistent and robust back-ups for the underlying database, and aid in increasing the speed and efficiency of the annotation by providing the annotators with intuitive GUIs. Moreover it needs to ensure that the data is stored with a minimal amount of redundancy in order to simultaneously save all the information while not losing on speed. In this paper, we describe a web application which is used to annotate many Dialectal Arabic texts. It aims at optimizing speed, accuracy and efficiency while maintaining the security and integrity of the data.
