DarijaBench, a comprehensive evaluation dataset tailored for Moroccan Darija. DarijaBench includes different datasets for core NLP tasks such as translation (based on four datasets, [DODa-10K](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MBZUAI-Paris/DODa-10K), [FLORES+](https://github.com/openlanguagedata/flores), [NLLB-Seed](https://github.com/openlanguagedata/seed) and [MADAR](https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/madar/)), summarization (based  on [MArSum](https://github.com/KamelGaanoun/MoroccanSummarization)) and, sentiment analysis (based on five datasets, [MAC](https://github.com/LeMGarouani/MAC), [MYC](https://github.com/MouadJb/MYC), [MSAC](https://hal.science/hal-03670346/document), [MSDA](https://cc.um6p.ma/cc_datasets) and, [ElectroMorocco2016](https://github.com/sentiprojects/ElecMorocco2016)), in addition to a new transliteration task to convert between Darija (written in Arabic letters) and Arabizi (written in Latin letters) it is based on [DODa-10K](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MBZUAI-Paris/DODa-10K) dataset.

### Checklist

For adding novel benchmarks/datasets to the library:
* [x] Is the task an existing benchmark in the literature?
  * [x] Have you referenced the original paper that introduced the task?
  * [ ] If yes, does the original paper provide a reference implementation? If so, have you checked against the reference implementation and documented how to run such a test?


If other tasks on this dataset are already supported:
* [ ] Is the "Main" variant of this task clearly denoted?
* [ ] Have you provided a short sentence in a README on what each new variant adds / evaluates?
* [ ] Have you noted which, if any, published evaluation setups are matched by this variant?
