Qachfar, Fatima Zahra, Verma, Rakesh M.
We examine the impact of homograph attacks on the Sentiment Analysis (SA) task of different Arabic dialects from the Maghreb North-African countries. Homograph attacks result in a 65.3% decrease in transformer classification from an F1-score of 0.95 to 0.33 when data is written in "Arabizi". The goal of this study is to highlight LLMs weaknesses' and to prioritize ethical and responsible Machine Learning.
