​On July 8th, the School of Engineering at the University of Jordan hosted a workshop to showcase a research project aimed at converting Jordanian Colloquial Arabic into Modern Standard Arabic using AI and machine learning. Funded by the Scientific Research and Innovation Support Fund with a 30,000 JD grant, the project is led by Prof. Gheith Abandah and involves faculty from the Departments of Computer Engineering and Arabic Language. The team presented custom ​datasets, smart mobile applications, and a linguistic database designed to support accurate dialect-to-MSA transformation. The event concluded with a discussion highlighting the project’s importance and suggestions for future development.​
