- Exploring Amharic Sentiment Analysis from Social Media Texts: Building Annotation Tools and Classification Models (2020 · 87 citations)
The paper addresses sentiment analysis for Amharic, a low-resource language. Amharic lacks annotated corpora and annotation infrastructure. Mainstream crowdsourcing services such as MTurk do not support Ethiopian requesters, and most local users work on phones over slow connections. After trying a spreadsheet and… - A Case Against Implicit Standards: Homophone Normalization in Machine Translation for Languages that use the Ge'ez Script. (2025 · 2 citations)

This step collapses Ge'ez-script characters that sound alike in Amharic into one character, which raises exact-match metrics such as BLEU. The authors argue that this habit quietly sets a standard for every language written in the… - Amharic DBpedia Chapter: A Knowledge Graph for a Low-Resource Language (2026)
DBpedia builds open knowledge graphs from Wikipedia through language-specific chapters, but low-resource languages are poorly covered.
