Amharic script maps almost one-to-one onto consonant-vowel sounds. The authors use this property to choose CV syllables, not phones, as the acoustic units. After merging graphemes that sound the same, the 276-symbol… 2. **[Large Vocabulary Read Speech Corpora for Four Ethiopian Languages: Amharic, Tigrigna, Oromo and Wolaytta](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abate-2020-large-vocabulary-read-speech-corpora/)** *(2020 · 18 citations)* Speech recognition requires transcribed audio, and most Ethiopian languages have very little of it. The authors at Addis Ababa University built read-speech corpora for four languages from three families: Amharic and Tigrigna (Semitic), Oromo (Cushitic) and Wolaytta (Omotic). Prompt sentences came from web and earlier… 3. **[Analyse des performances de modèles de langage sub-lexicale pour des langues peu-dotées à morphologie riche (Performance analysis of sub-word language modeling for under-resourced languages with rich morphology: case study on Swahili and Amharic) in French](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gelas-2012-analyse-des-performances-de-modeles/)** *(2012)* The paper looks at speech recognition (ASR) for two African languages that have few resources and complex morphology: Amharic, which is inflectional with root-pattern morphology, and Swahili, which is agglutinative. ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Binyam Ephrem Seyoum](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/binyam-ephrem-seyoum/) - [Hafte Abera](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hafte-abera/) - [Laurent Besacier](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/laurent-besacier/) - [Martha Yifiru Tachbelie](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/martha-yifiru-tachbelie/) - [Wolfgang Menzel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wolfgang-menzel/) - [Yaregal Assabie](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yaregal-assabie/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2020/) - [Workshop on Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages: Common Issues and Resources](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/workshop-on-computational-approaches-to-semitic-languages-common-issues-and/): [Workshop on Computational Approaches to Semitic Languages: Common Issues and Resources 2007](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/workshop-on-computational-approaches-to-semitic-languages-common-issues-and/2007/) - JEP-TALN-RECITAL 2012, Workshop TALAf 2012: Traitement Automatique des Langues Africaines (TALAf 2012: African Language Processing) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 7 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/solomon-teferra-abate/cited-by/).
