AraCrypto-ML: A Multi-Label Corpus of Communicative Functions in Arabic Facebook Cryptocurrency Discourse
In briefAraCrypto-ML: A Multi-Label Corpus of Arabic Facebook Cryptocurrency Posts by Communicative Function
SummaryThis paper introduces AraCrypto-ML, a corpus of 10,000 multi-label annotated Arabic Facebook posts about cryptocurrency from 2014 to 2024, drawn from 2,898 public pages. Posts are labelled into six functional categories using the Fanar-2-27B model under a prompt-only protocol. The authors validate 1,000 posts against adjudicated gold labels and apply Rogan-Gladen calibration to correct labelling bias. Reaction patterns vary markedly across functions, with Love dominating Educational and Promotional posts and Haha most common on Skeptical-Warning posts.
