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.

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… 3. **[Amharic DBpedia Chapter: A Knowledge Graph for a Low-Resource Language](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alemayehu-2026-amharic-dbpedia-chapter-knowledge-graph/)** *(2026)* DBpedia builds open knowledge graphs from Wikipedia through language-specific chapters, but low-resource languages are poorly covered. ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Exploring Amharic Sentiment Analysis from Social Media Texts: Building Annotation Tools and Classification Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yimam-2020-exploring-amharic-sentiment-analysis-social/) [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/)**Seid Muhie Yimam, Hizkiel Mitiku Alemayehu, Abinew Ayele, et al.*2020 · 87 citations* 2. **[Error Analysis of Multilingual Language Models in Machine Translation: A Case Study of English-Amharic Translation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-main.1102/) Proceedings of the 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing · no summary yet**Hizkiel Mitiku Alemayehu, Hamada M Zahera, Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo*2024 · 6 citations* 3. **[A Case Against Implicit Standards: Homophone Normalization in Machine Translation for Languages that use the Ge'ez Script.](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nigatu-2025-case-against-implicit-standards-homophone/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Hellina Hailu Nigatu, Atnafu Lambebo Tonja, Henok Biadglign Ademtew, et al.*2025 · 2 citations* 4. **[Amharic DBpedia Chapter: A Knowledge Graph for a Low-Resource Language](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/alemayehu-2026-amharic-dbpedia-chapter-knowledge-graph/) [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/)**HIzkiel Mitiku Alemayehu, Tilahun Abedissa Taffa, Meti Adane Bayissa, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Seid Muhie Yimam](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/seid-muhie-yimam/) ×2 - [Abinew Ali Ayele](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abinew-ali-ayele/) - [Atnafu Lambebo Tonja](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/atnafu-lambebo-tonja/) - [Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/axel-cyrille-ngonga-ngomo/) - [Chris Biemann](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chris-biemann/) - [Hellina Hailu Nigatu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hellina-hailu-nigatu/) - [Henok Biadglign Ademtew](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/henok-biadglign-ademtew/) - [Negasi Haile Abadi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/negasi-haile-abadi/) - [Ricardo Usbeck](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ricardo-usbeck/) - [Tadesse Destaw Belay](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tadesse-destaw-belay/) - [Tilahun Abedissa Taffa](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tilahun-abedissa-taffa/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/) ×2: [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) - [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/): [COLING 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/2020/) - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 36 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/hizkiel-mitiku-alemayehu/cited-by/).
