Dear Ms.,
I thank you for your answer. You did not cite my presentation about using Wikidata to create a multi-lingual multi-dialectal dictionary for Arabic dialects in AICCSA 2017 held last week. In fact, my presentation was successful and had been attended by Prof. Mustafa Jarrar and Prof. Ashraf Elnagar, ones of the most prominent specialists in Arabic Natural Language Processing. I will write a report about it and I will publish the proceedings papers, the presentation slides and the transcription of my speech online after the final official publication of my work in IEEE Xplore.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
