Description

Using GenAI to generate biographies in Moroccan Arabic.

The team

Created and run by: Ideophagous

Results

Our method

Stage 1: trying different prompts to generate biographies in Moroccan Darija

Preliminary results are encouraging, since a coherent text can be generated using ChatGPT4, but follow-up prompts are still needed to make adjustments, especially in terms of word choice, and sometimes grammar.
The next step would be to automate the process and recursively refine the prompts. Adding tokens from Wikidata may prove to be useful.

Stage 2: testing RAG

Resources we used

General knowledge of prompting and GenAI

Conclusion

Generating texts in Moroccan Darija with AI is feasible but requires some extra effort, in comparison to languages like English with larger online content to draw from.

What next

As already noted in the results section, next would be to refine and automate the process, and use RAG to obtain better results, by training the AI on curated Moroccan Darija content.
