Almost a year after our launch, we are proud to announce our second cohort of projects, whose teams will create openly accessible text and speech datasets fueling #NLP technologies in 29 languages, engaging dozens of institutions across Africa and beyond: bit.ly/3vqdQiq

Funding recipients will create training and evaluation datasets for underserved languages, which will have significant downstream impacts on #education, #healthcare, #financialinclusion, #agriculture, and more in Africa. Learn more about the projects: bit.ly/3vqdQiq

“Embracing diversity & multiculturalism is the kind of innovative, transformative change we seek to drive impact” says William Asiko. Lacuna Fund’s 🆕 set of projects unlock the power of #AI & #NLProc for social impact & ⬆️ presence of African countries on the global #data 🗺️ 👇

Fantastic to see funding for 10 projects building text and speech datasets in 29 African languages. Data is the fuel of ML and these projects should spark more NLP research in African languages. 🌍

A project by Ashesi University & Nokwary will develop a new speech dataset that makes it possible for Twi & Ga speakers in Ghana 🇬🇭 with low English literacy to access digital financial services in their native language.

Thanks for the funding! Lacuna Fund

By building a phonetically balanced speech corpus focused on the financial domain, one of our project teams will enable greater #access to digital financial services for Twi and Ga speakers in Ghana in their native language. Learn more here: bit.ly/3vqdQiq
