Interpretability of Arabic NLP models is an important field that is not explored as well as cross lingual understanding especially for low-resource tasks.

[Abdullah-mamdouh]

can you recommend some papers on this topics and journals is interested in Arabic NLP papers ?

[zaidalyafeai]

These are interesting for cross lingual understanding

https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.14519

Haven't seen any papers for interpretability analysis of Arabic NLP models though. I think you can pretty much publish in any nlp conference/journal as long as there is some kind of novelty.

What about now @zaidalyafeai, do you have new suggestions?

[zaidalyafeai]

Prompt-based engineering and zero-shot evaluation is lacking on Arabic NLP.
