Falcon-Emirati: When an LLM Learns the Dialect, the Culture, and the Nuance

Falcon-Emirati-7B is a dialect-specialized language model developed to understand and generate Emirati Arabic, addressing the limitations of general Arabic models. It builds on the Falcon-H1-Arabic architecture and incorporates a dedicated Emirati data pipeline to enhance cultural and linguistic understanding. The model aims to bridge the gap between Modern Standard Arabic and the nuances of Emirati dialect.
