  1. Optimized Text Embedding Models and Benchmarks for Amharic Passage Retrieval (2025 · 4 citations)
    Amharic is a low-resource Semitic language with root-and-pattern morphology and the Ge'ez abugida script. Neither lexical matching nor large multilingual embedders handle it well, and the authors trace much of the trouble to poor subword segmentation. They fine-tune existing Amharic BERT and RoBERTa checkpoints…
  2. uva-irlab-conv at SemEval-2026 Task 8: Multi-Turn RAG with Learned Sparse Retrieval and Listwise Reranking (2026 · 1 citation)
    This paper describes the University of Amsterdam team's system for SemEval-2026 Task 8, which is built on the MTRAGEval benchmark.
  3. The Multilingual Curse at the Retrieval Layer: Evidence from Amharic (2026)
    The paper asks whether multilingual retrievers that score well zero-shot actually transfer to an underrepresented, morphologically rich language.
