The Arabic language has different variants that can roughly be classified into three major types, namely Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), Dialectal Arabic (DA), and Classical Arabic (CA). There are slight variations between CA and MSA regarding pronunciation, syntax, and terminology. On the other hand, DA is quite different from MSA and CA in that it reflects the country of origin, or at least the geographic location of the speaker if the mobility factor is considered. Deep learning demonstrated its effectiveness in DA detection tasks, leveraging neural network models such as transformer models, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Researchers have established models that automatically discriminate between Arabic dialects by processing contextual information, linguistic features, and phonetic patterns embedded in large datasets. Using Deep Learning (DL) in Arabic dialect detection contributes in various complex systems to the development of natural language processing. It assists in addressing the problems related to a wide variety of Arabic dialects, which facilitate applications including machine translation, speech recognition, and sentimental analysis tailored to regional linguistic variation. This study suggests an Enhanced Fractal Cheetah Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning for Integrated Arabic Dialect Identification (ECOADL-IADI) technique. The ECOADL-IADI technique mainly intends to classify the variations of the Arabic language into multiple classes. At the preliminary level, the ECOADL-IADI technique performs preprocessing of Arabic text. Next, the BERT word embedding process is carried out. The ECOADL-IADI technique applies a Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Network (BiRNN) model for Arabic dialect identification. Lastly, the ECOA-based hyperparameter selection process improves the classifier outcomes of the BiRNN model. A wide range of experiments were conducted to examine the detection results of the ECODL-IADI technique. The extensive results stated that the ECODL-IADI technique performs well compared to other models.
