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… 3. **[Amharic Part-of-Speech Tagger for Factored Language Modeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tachbelie-2009-amharic-part-speech-tagger-factored/)** *(2009 · 22 citations)* Amharic is a Semitic language with root-and-pattern morphology and heavy affixation. This makes word-based language models suffer from sparse data and many unseen words. Earlier morpheme-based models lowered the out-of-vocabulary rate but lost dependencies between whole words. The authors therefore use factored… ## All works 7 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. **[The ISLE Corpus of Non-Native Spoken English](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/menzel-2000-isle-corpus-non-native-spoken/) [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/)**Wolfgang Menzel, Eric Atwell, Patrizia Bonaventura, et al.*2000 · 63 citations* 2. **[Syllable-Based Speech Recognition for Amharic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/abate-2007-syllable-based-speech-recognition-amharic/) [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/)**Solomon Teferra Abate, Wolfgang Menzel*2007 · 25 citations* 3. **[Amharic Part-of-Speech Tagger for Factored Language Modeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tachbelie-2009-amharic-part-speech-tagger-factored/) [Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/ranlp/)**Martha Yifiru Tachbelie, Wolfgang Menzel*2009 · 22 citations* 4. **[UHH Submission to the WMT17 Metrics Shared Task ↗](https://aclanthology.org/W17-4766/) Proceedings of the Second Conference on Machine Translation · no summary yet**Melania Duma, Wolfgang Menzel*2017 · 7 citations* 5. **[The Benefit of Pseudo-Reference Translations in Quality Estimation of MT Output ↗](https://aclanthology.org/W18-6460/) Proceedings of the Third Conference on Machine Translation: Shared Task Papers · no summary yet**Melania Duma, Wolfgang Menzel*2018 · 5 citations* 6. **[A New Syntactic Metric for Evaluation of Machine Translation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/P13-3019/) 51st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics Proceedings of the Student Research Workshop · no summary yet**Melania Duma, Cristina Vertan, Wolfgang Menzel*2013 · 3 citations* 7. **[A Procedure of an Automatic Grapheme-to-Phoneme Transformation of German ↗](https://aclanthology.org/C82-2037/) Coling 1982 Abstracts: Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Computational Linguistics Abstracts · no summary yet**Sabine Koch, Wolfgang Menzel, Ingrid Starke*1982 · 1 citation* ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Eric Atwell](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/eric-atwell/) - [Martha Yifiru Tachbelie](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/martha-yifiru-tachbelie/) - [Solomon Teferra Abate](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/solomon-teferra-abate/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - 51st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics Proceedings of the Student Research Workshop - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2000](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2000/) - [Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/ranlp/): [RANLP 2009](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/ranlp/2009/) - [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/) - Coling 1982 Abstracts: Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Computational Linguistics Abstracts - Proceedings of the Second Conference on Machine Translation - Proceedings of the Third Conference on Machine Translation: Shared Task Papers ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 20 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/wolfgang-menzel/cited-by/).
