Abstract

The Arabic language has very limited supports from NLG researchers. In this paper,
we explain the challenges of the core grammar, provide a lexical resource, and implement the first language functions for the Arabic language. We did a human evaluation to evaluate our functions in generating sentences from the NADA Corpus.
