## Summary

The study introduces a generatively informed neuro‑symbolic framework that integrates AraBERT to resolve structural ambiguity in Modern Standard Arabic noun phrases. By treating ambiguity as a candidate‑based decision task, the model explicitly constructs and evaluates linguistically motivated alternatives. On an unseen evaluation set, it achieved 96.88 % accuracy, 95.92 % macro‑F1, 96.83 % weighted‑F1, and 93.94 % binary‑F1.

Class‑level analysis shows uneven performance: recall of 99.71 % for High/VP Attachment (N1) versus 89.26 % for Low/NP/Embedded Attachment (N2), indicating that embedded interpretations are harder to recover. The authors argue that formal syntactic representations can be operationalized within Transformer‑based NLP, offering a controlled and interpretable approach to Arabic syntactic ambiguity resolution and potentially beyond.

## Key points

- Model achieved 96.88% accuracy on unseen Arabic DP set
- Recall 99.71% for High/VP Attachment, 89.26% for Low/NP/Embedded Attachment
- Framework combines generative syntax with AraBERT in a candidate‑based task

## Why it matters

The results demonstrate that integrating linguistic structure with transformer models can substantially improve disambiguation in morphologically rich languages, informing future Arabic NLP tools and research on interpretable AI.
