Hi @israel , hope you are doing well. Your name pops up everywhere in Amharic NLP and I greatly appreciate the work you've been doing.

The reason I uploaded this version of your dataset was because the text in the original csv files in your github repo (https://github.com/IsraelAbebe/An-Amharic-News-Text-classification-Dataset) was more suitable for use in transformer models than the version you uploaded to hugging face (https://huggingface.co/datasets/israel/Amharic-News-Text-classification-Dataset). The later one had been preprocessed to remove punctuations, which causes loss of important context that models like BERT could have used to get better results.

In the last section of the dataset card, titled Original CSV and Paper, I have added the links to your paper, github repo, and dataset.
