Participatory Research for Low-resourced Machine Translation: A Case Study in African Languages
Wilhelmina Nekoto, Vukosi Marivate, Tshinondiwa Matsila +45
Research in NLP lacks geographic diversity, and the question of how NLP can be scaled to low-resourced languages has not yet been adequately solved. "Low-resourced"-ness is a compl…
On Optimal Transformer Depth for Low-Resource Language Translation
Elan van Biljon, Arnu Pretorius, Julia Kreutzer
Transformers have shown great promise as an approach to Neural Machine Translation (NMT) for low-resource languages. However, at the same time, transformer models remain difficult…
Masakhane -- Machine Translation For Africa
Iroro Orife, Julia Kreutzer, Blessing Sibanda +22
Africa has over 2000 languages. Despite this, African languages account for a small portion of available resources and publications in Natural Language Processing (NLP). This is du…
Unsupervised acoustic unit discovery for speech synthesis using discrete latent-variable neural networks
Ryan Eloff, André Nortje, Benjamin van Niekerk +7
For our submission to the ZeroSpeech 2019 challenge, we apply discrete latent-variable neural networks to unlabelled speech and use the discovered units for speech synthesis. Unsup…
