Research Papers | Arabic NLP, OCR & Medical AI Publications

Explore academic research papers by Abdelkareem Elkhateb on Arabic OCR, Explainable AI, medical image classification, and AI-powered infant cry analysis.

Academic publications on Arabic OCR, medical AI, federated learning, and efficient NLP — bridging research and production for under-represented languages.

My research focuses on making AI work for languages and domains that don’t get enough attention: Arabic text recognition, explainable medical imaging, and efficient models that run on limited hardware. I’ve published at IEEE Access, Scientific Reports (Nature), NeurIPS, and Springer, with work spanning from federated fine-tuning of LLMs to infant cry analysis.

Below is a summary of each paper with links to the full text.
