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.
