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](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wassie-2023-machine-translation-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](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/moslem-2026-afrinllb-efficient-translation-models-african/)** *(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… ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Atnafu Lambebo Tonja](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/atnafu-lambebo-tonja/) - [Israel Abebe Azime](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/israel-abebe-azime/) - [Seid Muhie Yimam](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/seid-muhie-yimam/) - [Tadesse Destaw Belay](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tadesse-destaw-belay/) - [Yasmin Moslem](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yasmin-moslem/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Workshop on African Natural Language Processing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/africanlp/): [Workshop on African Natural Language Processing 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/africanlp/2026/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2024/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 13 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [10 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aman-kassahun-wassie/cited-by/).
