London Data Week Workshop - How Good are AI Language Models in Global Languages? (🇬🇧)
Créé le 02/07/2024Description
"How Good are AI Language Models in Global Languages?" is an interactive workshop held as part of London Data Week, organised by the Alan Turing Institute and grassroots AI researchers from across Africa.
The workshop is split into two halves:
The morning is more focused on a technical audience (although is open to all!) and will cover the latest research on capabilities, benchmarks, and ethics related to language models in a global context, including lightning talks from leading researchers.
The afternoon is more focused on a non-technical audience (but is also open to all!) and will include interactive demos of models as well as breakout sessions focused on how language communities can help shape the development of AI systems and address critical ethical considerations.Because researchers are primarily from Africa, there will be a particular focus on six African languages: አማርኛ (Amharic), Hausa, Northern Sotho (Sepedi), Kiswahili (Swahili), Yorùbá (Yoruba), and isiZulu (Zulu). However, we will touch on issues applicable to other languages too.We're looking forward to hosting you!
