Abstract Our Artificial Intelligence research group at the University of Leeds has collected, analysed and annotated Classical Arabic corpus resources: the Quranic Arabic Corpus with several layers of linguistic annotation; the QurAna Quran pronoun anaphoric co-reference corpus; the QurSim Quran verse similarity corpus; the Qurany Quran corpus annotated with English translations and verse topics; the Boundary-Annotated Quran Corpus ; the Quran Question and Answer Corpus ; the Multilingual Hadith Corpus ; the King Saud University Corpus of Classical Arabic ; and the Corpus for teaching about Islam. We have also developed Modern Arabic corpus resources spanning several genres and language types: Arabic By Computer ; the Corpus of Contemporary Arabic ; the Arabic Internet Corpus ; the World Wide Arabic Corpus ; the Arabic Discourse Treebank ; the Arabic Learner Corpus ; the Arabic Children’s Corpus ; and the Arabic Dialect Text Corpus . These corpus resources have informed Arabic corpus linguistics and Artificial Intelligence research, and development of Arabic text analytics tools.
