# Introduction
This is the Amharic RoBERTa transformer-based LM. It is part of the effort to build benchmark datasets and models for Amharic NLP.

# Examples
If you want to test the model in the `Hosted inference API`, copy the following texts to the box (right side)

Example 1:

`አበበ <mask> በላ ። `

Example 2:

`የአገሪቱ አጠቃላይ የስንዴ አቅርቦት ሶስት አራተኛው የሚመረተው በአገር <mask> ነው።`

The example shows possible words for the `fill in the blank -- mask` task
