Abstract

This research develops a classification model for Arabic news tweets using Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory networks (BiLSTM). Tweets about Arabic news were gathered between August 2016 and August 2020 and divided into five categories. Custom Python scripts, Twitter API and the GetOldTweets3 Python library were used to collect the data. BiLSTM was used to train and test the model. The results indicated an average accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score of 0.88, 0.92, 0.88, and 0.89, respectively. The results could have practical implications for Arabic machine learning and NLP tasks in research and practice.
