MasakhaNER 2.0: Africa-centric Transfer Learning for Named Entity Recognition
David Ifeoluwa Adelani, Graham Neubig, Sebastian Ruder +42
African languages are spoken by over a billion people, but are underrepresented in NLP research and development. The challenges impeding progress include the limited availability o…
Separating Grains from the Chaff: Using Data Filtering to Improve Multilingual Translation for Low-Resourced African Languages
Idris Abdulmumin, Michael Beukman, Jesujoba O. Alabi +8
We participated in the WMT 2022 Large-Scale Machine Translation Evaluation for the African Languages Shared Task. This work describes our approach, which is based on filtering the…
AfriWOZ: Corpus for Exploiting Cross-Lingual Transferability for Generation of Dialogues in Low-Resource, African Languages
Tosin Adewumi, Mofetoluwa Adeyemi, Aremu Anuoluwapo +17
Dialogue generation is an important NLP task fraught with many challenges. The challenges become more daunting for low-resource African languages. To enable the creation of dialogu…
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…
The Effect of Domain and Diacritics in Yorùbá-English Neural Machine Translation
David I. Adelani, Dana Ruiter, Jesujoba O. Alabi +5
Massively multilingual machine translation (MT) has shown impressive capabilities, including zero and few-shot translation between low-resource language pairs. However, these model…
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…
