## 1. Model Description
|
| 9 |
-
**Hailay/FT_EXLMR** is a fine-tuned version of the EXLMR model, designed specifically for sentiment analysis and text classification tasks in low-resource African languages such as Tigrinya, Amharic, and Oromo. This model leverages the architecture of EXLMR but has been further fine-tuned to improve its performance on multilingual tasks, especially for languages not widely represented in existing NLP models.

The model was trained using the AfriSent-Semeval-2023 dataset, a benchmark dataset for African languages, which is publicly available on GitHub:[AfriSent-Semeval-2023 GitHub Repository](https://github.com/afrisenti-semeval/afrisent-semeval-2023)
