# Amharic Sentiment Analysis
An Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing (NLP) project for classifying Amharic text into sentiment categories using Machine Learning.
---
## π Overview
Amharic is one of the least represented languages in Natural Language Processing research. This project aims to develop a sentiment analysis system capable of predicting whether an Amharic sentence expresses a **positive**, **negative**, or **neutral** opinion.
The project demonstrates the complete machine learning pipeline, from data preprocessing to model deployment through a web interface.
