Invitation It is our pleasure to
invite you to our webinar “NLP in Low-Resourced
Languages and the AI4D Language Challenge”, which
will take place via Microsoft Teams on 3 July 2020,
from 14:00 to 16:30 pm CEST. The webinar focusses
on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the collection
of language data in African languages, giving an
overview of latest achievements in NLP research (in
particular in low-resourced languages) and an update on
language resources and data collection approaches for
African languages. Further information
about the webinar and its programme is available in the
agenda attached. We have also prepared a short quiz, so
you can test your knowledge in advance – Maybe you are
already an NLP expert? Find it out here. In order to
participate in this free online event, please register here.
The AI4D webinar series provides a unique opportunity to share, discuss and build on ongoing research and practice in using AI for fostering development in Africa. The objective of this series is to support the growing community of practitioners, academic, and policy makers from across Africa who are interested and engaged in the application of AI4D in Africa and in opening up AI development for the public good. Each monthly webinar will focus on a specific AI4D topic, ranging from Natural Language Processing (NLP) for under resourced African languages to AI policy issues and government readiness. The webinar series will culminate in a physical conference in 2021 for the African AI4D community which will provide an opportunity to continue sharing experiences as well to create new partnerships and collaborations. The webinar series is organized in collaboration with the International Development Research Center (IDCR), GIZ’s “FAIR Forward – Artificial Intelligence for All” initiative and Mozilla. |
