Contemporary Amharic Corpus (CACO)
DOI
Abstract
This is the Contemporary Amharic Corpus (CACO) version 1.1. CACO is collected from various sources which are proofread or edited. The corpus contains about 24 million tokens. Since it is partly a web corpus, we made some automatic spelling error corrections. We have also modified the existing morphological analyzer, HornMorpho, to use it for automatic tagging. (The modified version of HornMorpho, HornMorphoA version 3.1, is available at: https://github.com/hltdi/HornMorpho)
