FSER: Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Speech Emotion Recognition
Bonaventure F. P. Dossou, Yeno K. S. Gbenou
Using mel-spectrograms over conventional MFCCs features, we assess the abilities of convolutional neural networks to accurately recognize and classify emotions from speech data. We…
AfriVEC: Word Embedding Models for African Languages. Case Study of Fon and Nobiin
Bonaventure F. P. Dossou, Mohammed Sabry
From Word2Vec to GloVe, word embedding models have played key roles in the current state-of-the-art results achieved in Natural Language Processing. Designed to give significant an…
Crowdsourced Phrase-Based Tokenization for Low-Resourced Neural Machine Translation: The Case of Fon Language
Bonaventure F. P. Dossou, Chris C. Emezue
Building effective neural machine translation (NMT) models for very low-resourced and morphologically rich African indigenous languages is an open challenge. Besides the issue of f…
OkwuGbé: End-to-End Speech Recognition for Fon and Igbo
Bonaventure F. P. Dossou, Chris C. Emezue
Language is inherent and compulsory for human communication. Whether expressed in a written or spoken way, it ensures understanding between people of the same and different regions…
Quality at a Glance: An Audit of Web-Crawled Multilingual Datasets
Julia Kreutzer, Isaac Caswell, Lisa Wang +49
With the success of large-scale pre-training and multilingual modeling in Natural Language Processing (NLP), recent years have seen a proliferation of large, web-mined text dataset…
MasakhaNER: Named Entity Recognition for African Languages
David Ifeoluwa Adelani, Jade Abbott, Graham Neubig +58
We take a step towards addressing the under-representation of the African continent in NLP research by creating the first large publicly available high-quality dataset for named en…
