  1. Walia-LLM: Enhancing Amharic-LLaMA by Integrating Task-Specific and Generative Datasets (2024 · 11 citations)
    Open LLMs such as LLaMA-2 were barely exposed to Amharic during pre-training. The existing adaptation, LLaMA-2-Amharic (Andersland, 2024), was instruction-tuned only on English instructions that had been machine-translated into Amharic. The authors ask whether native Amharic supervision can do better. They reuse…
  2. Machine Translation for Ge'ez Language (2023 · 5 citations)
    The paper looks at how to build machine translation for Ge'ez. Ge'ez is the classical Semitic language of Ethiopia and Eritrea. No community speaks it natively today, though it survives in church liturgy. Parallel data for it is scarce and almost entirely biblical. The author trains Transformer models with OpenNMT.…
  3. AfriNLLB: Efficient Translation Models for African Languages (2026 · 2 citations)
    Machine translation for African languages is held back by two problems. Parallel data is scattered across many sources, and existing models are often too heavy for low-resource deployment, for example in government or healthcare services. The authors present AfriNLLB, a family of compact translation models derived…
