An Amharic News Text classification Dataset
In NLP, text classification is one of the primary problems we try to solve and its uses in language analyses are indisputable. The lack of labeled training data made it harder to do these tasks in low resource languages like Amharic. The task of collecting, labeling, annotating, and making valuable this kind of data will encourage junior researchers, schools, and machine learning practitioners to implement existing classification models… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/israel/Amharic-News-Text-classification-Dataset.Amharic_ad_generationamharic-oromo_sentence-pairs
