In Memoriam
Worku Kelemework Birhanie passed away unexpectedly in the fall of 2019. Worku was a doctoral student from Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, who had come to Konstanz via a DAAD stipend in a capacity building program. He was a lecturer at Bahir Dar University and was pursuing a PhD on Deep Learning for Amharic morphology. He had completed one semester at Konstanz in the winter of 2018 and had just returned for another semester in October 2019 when he unexpectedly fell ill.
Those of us who spent time with Worku knew him as a friendly, enthusiastic and driven man who wanted to build a better future for himself, his family and his country by pursuing computational research into a severely under-ressourced language. We were shocked by his sudden death and continue to miss him. The following paper was published posthumously.
