The focus
African languages are often underrepresented in language technology. This work focuses on neural machine translation in a low-resource setting.
African language translation
Work on translation for low-resource African languages using mBART, built on Masakhane’s AfriMBART infrastructure. A different kind of engineering, with language at its centre.
The approach
The work uses mBART and builds on Masakhane’s AfriMBART infrastructure, alongside dataset building for machine translation.
The toolkit
Python, deep learning and dataset building support this part of my engineering work. The focus is translation for low-resource African languages.
