Algerian Darija Script Detector
A fine-tuned xlm-roberta-base model that classifies text into three categories:
- Darija (Latin script) — Algerian Arabic written with Latin letters (e.g.
wach rak) - Darija (Arabic script) — Algerian Arabic written with Arabic letters (e.g.
واش راك) - Not Darija — any other language (French, English, Modern Standard Arabic, etc.)
Built to handle the heavy code-switching and script-mixing common in Algerian social media, messaging, and speech transcripts.
Usage
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("text-classification", model="Chaima-KHENAFIF/algerian-darija-script-detector")
classifier("wach rak mlih?")
Training
Fine-tuned on a custom-labeled dataset of Algerian Darija and non-Darija text across the three classes above.
