Picking a good template usually requires a labeled validation set, or gradient access to the model for continuous prompt tuning. Sorensen et al. propose a label-free alternative that needs only the model's output probabilities. 2. **[Amharic Abstractive Text Summarization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zaki-2020-amharic-abstractive-text-summarization/)** *(2020 · 7 citations)* The paper tackles abstractive summarization for Amharic, a widely spoken African language with almost no ready-made NLP resources. 3. **[Automatic Pronunciation Error Detection and Correction of the Holy Quran's Learners Using Deep Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abdelfattah-2025-automatic-pronunciation-error-detection-correction/)** *(2025)* The paper tackles automatic detection of recitation mistakes made by learners of the Holy Quran. Existing resources were small, covered only one to three Tajweed rules, or were closed. The authors frame the task as speech recognition into a purpose-built transcription, the Quran Phonetic Script (QPS).
