Towards hate speech detection in low-resource languages: Comparing ASR to acoustic word embeddings on Wolof and Swahili

Christiaan Jacobs, Nathanaël Carraz Rakotonirina, Everlyn Asiko Chimoto +2

We consider hate speech detection through keyword spotting on radio broadcasts. One approach is to build an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for the target low-resource la…

Very Low Resource Sentence Alignment: Luhya and Swahili

Everlyn Asiko Chimoto, Bruce A. Bassett

Language-agnostic sentence embeddings generated by pre-trained models such as LASER and LaBSE are attractive options for mining large datasets to produce parallel corpora for low-r…

Learning to Detect Interesting Anomalies

Alireza Vafaei Sadr, Bruce A. Bassett, Emmanuel Sekyi

Anomaly detection algorithms are typically applied to static, unchanging, data features hand-crafted by the user. But how does a user systematically craft good features for anomali…

COMET-QE and Active Learning for Low-Resource Machine Translation

Everlyn Asiko Chimoto, Bruce A. Bassett

Active learning aims to deliver maximum benefit when resources are scarce. We use COMET-QE, a reference-free evaluation metric, to select sentences for low-resource neural machine…

Cosmic String Detection with Tree-Based Machine Learning

A. Vafaei Sadr, M. Farhang, S. M. S. Movahed +2

We explore the use of random forest and gradient boosting, two powerful tree-based machine learning algorithms, for the detection of cosmic strings in maps of the cosmic microwave…
