+# SaudiSpell-AraT5: Comprehensive Saudi Dialect Spelling Correction
+
+**SaudiSpell-AraT5** is a state-of-the-art sequence-to-sequence spelling correction model fine-tuned on a massive, balanced corpus of Saudi Dialectal Arabic. Unlike generic Arabic correctors, this model is engineered to handle the specific orthographic and phonetic nuances of **Najdi**, **Hijazi**, and **Standard Saudi** dialects alongside Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).
+
+## 📊 Model Performance & Training Insights
+
+The model achieved **exceptional convergence**, reaching a final training loss of **0.0729**, indicating high confidence in correcting complex dialectal errors.
+
+| Metric | Value | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Final Training Loss** | **0.0729** | Low loss indicates high precision in error detection. |
+| **Training Steps** | 45,000 | Fully converged over ~3 million samples. |
+| **Base Architecture** | AraT5-Base | Specialized T5 model pre-trained on Arabic. |

+
+## 🛠️ Training Configuration & Hyperparameters
+
+Transperency is key for reproducibility. The model was fine-tuned using the following configuration on NVIDIA A100 GPUs:
+
+* **Batch Size:** 64
+* **Learning Rate:** 5e-5
+* **Optimizer:** AdamW
+* **Precision:** bf16 (Bfloat16)
+* **Max Sequence Length:** 128 tokens
+* **Num Epochs:** 1 (Full pass over 3M balanced rows)
+* **Checkpoint Strategy:** Saved at step 45,000.
+

+## 📚 Dataset & Methodology
 
+The training data consists of **3 Million sentences**, strictly balanced to prevent the "majority dialect problem."
 
-# SaudiSpell-AraT5: Balanced Saudi Dialect Spelling Correction
+### 1. The "Balanced 33%" Strategy
+Real-world data is often dominated by Najdi dialect. We employed an aggressive **oversampling strategy (50x)** for rare dialects to ensure the model treats all regions equally.

+* 🛡️ **Najdi:** 33% (Central Region)
+* 🕋 **Hijazi:** 33% (Western Region)
+* 🇸🇦 **Standard Saudi:** 33% (Formal/Media)
 
-## Model Description
+### 2. Synthetic Error Injection Protocol
+To mimic real-world typing behavior, we developed a "Saudi-Calibrated" error injector. Every sample has a **20% probability** of containing one of the following error types:
 
-- **Base Model:** [UBC-NLP/AraT5-base](https://huggingface.co/UBC-NLP/AraT5-base)
-- **Task:** Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) / Spelling Correction
-- **Dialect Coverage:**
-    - 🛡️ **Najdi** (33% of training data)
-    - 🕋 **Hijazi** (33% of training data)
-    - 🇸🇦 **Standard Saudi** (33% of training data)
+1.  **⌨️ Keyboard Typos:** Adjacency errors based on the specific Arabic keyboard layout (e.g., hitting 'ث' instead of 'ص').
+2.  **🗣️ Phonetic Substitutions:** Dialectal sound-alikes (e.g., 'ق' vs 'غ' or 'ذ' vs 'ز').
+3.  **👁️ Visual Substitutions:** Shape-based errors (e.g., 'ه' vs 'ة').
+4.  **❌ Deletions & Insertions:** Simulating fast typing/missed keystrokes.
+5.  **✂️ Space Stripping:** Merged words (e.g., "ياخي" instead of "يا اخي").
 
-## Training Methodology
+---
+
+## 🚀 Usage
 
-The model was trained on **3 Million sentences** with a strict **Balanced Sampling Strategy** to prevent the majority dialect from dominating. Rare dialects were oversampled 50x to match the volume of web-crawled data.
+You can use this model directly with the Hugging Face `transformers` library.
 
-### Synthetic Error Injection
-To mimic real-world noisy text, we used a "Saudi-Calibrated" error injection framework. The training data consists of **20%** of each of the following error types:
-1. **⌨️ Keyboard Typos:** Adjacency errors based on the Arabic keyboard layout.
-2. **🗣️ Phonetic Substitutions:** Common dialectal sound-alike errors (e.g., Qaf variations).
-3. **👁️ Visual Substitutions:** Look-alike character errors.
-4. **❌ Deletions & Insertions:** Random character noise mimicking fast typing.
-5. **✂️ Space Stripping:** Merged words mimicking ASR artifacts or missing spaces.
+### Installation
+```bash
+pip install transformers torch
 
-## Usage

-You can use this model with the Hugging Face `transformers` library.
+### Inference Code
 
 ```python
 from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
 
+# 1. Load Model
 model_name = "FatimahEmadEldin/SaudiSpell-AraT5"
-
 tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
 model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
 
 def correct_text(text):
-    # Note: The model was trained with the prefix "correct: "
+    # IMPORTANT: The model was trained with the prefix "correct: "
     input_text = "correct: " + text
     
     inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt", max_length=128, truncation=True)
     
+    # Generate correction
     outputs = model.generate(
         **inputs, 
         max_new_tokens=128,
-        num_beams=5,        # Beam search for better quality
+        num_beams=5,        # Beam search ensures higher quality
         early_stopping=True
     )
     return tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
 
-# Example (Hijazi/Najdi Mix)
-noisy_text = "kif 7alak ya 9adi8i" # Arabizi/Typos support
-print(correct_text(noisy_text))
+# --- Examples ---
+
+# 1. Hijazi Example (Phonetic & Typos)
+# Input: "ya wad ishbk mst3jl kda" (Arabizi/Typos)
+print(correct_text("يا واد اشبك مستعجل كدا")) 
+# Expected: "يا واد اشبك مستعجل كذا"
+
+# 2. Najdi Example (Space Stripping)
+# Input: "ياخي وراك مارديت"
+print(correct_text("ياخي وراك مارديت")) 
+# Expected: "يا أخي وراك ما رديت"
 
 ```
 
-## Limitations
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Limitations
+
+* **Context Length:** Optimized for sentences up to 128 tokens (tweets, chat messages). Longer texts should be split.
+* **Arabizi:** While it has some capability to handle Latin-script Arabic (Arabizi), it is primarily optimized for Arabic script.
+* **Ultra-Local Slang:** Extremely niche slang words not present in the training corpus may be normalized to MSA or Standard Saudi.

-* The model is optimized for short-to-medium length sentences (social media, chat).
-* While robust to some Arabizi (Latin script Arabic), it performs best on Arabic script input.
