This study proposes a generatively informed neuro-symbolic framework for resolving structural ambiguity in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) DPs. The framework integrates generative syntactic notions with AraBERT by representing ambiguity as a candidate-based decision task in which linguistically motivated alternatives are explicitly constructed and evaluated through candidate-conditioned input representations. Findings indicate that the model achieved 96.88% accuracy, 95.92% macro-F1, 96.83% weighted F1, and 93.94% binary F1 on the unseen evaluation set. Class-level analysis revealed asymmetric performance, with recall of 99.71% for High/VP Attachment (N1) and 89.26% for Low/NP/Embedded Attachment (N2), indicating greater difficulty in recovering the embedded interpretation. The study concludes that formal syntactic representations can be operationalized within Transformer-based NLP as an explicit interface between linguistic structure and contextual neural modeling, providing a controlled and interpretable approach to Arabic syntactic ambiguity resolution and beyond.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-generative-informed-neuro-symbolic-framework-for-syntactic-ambiguity-evidence", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.02529", "published_at": "2026-10-05 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-05 04:14:55.849707+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["natural-language-processing", "ai-research", "machine-learning", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["AraBERT", "arXiv", "Modern Standard Arabic", "determiner phrases"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-generative-informed-neuro-symbolic-framework-for-syntactic-ambiguity-evidence", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-generative-informed-neuro-symbolic-framework-for-syntactic-ambiguity-evidence.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-generative-informed-neuro-symbolic-framework-for-syntactic-ambiguity-evidence.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-generative-informed-neuro-symbolic-framework-for-syntactic-ambiguity-evidence.jsonld"}}
