We have created a web site and open-source toolkit to try to make NLP more accessible for people who speak or perform linguistic research on traditionally underrepresented languages.

If you're interested in using it, please take a look and reach out to me and Zaid for details!

Katharina is an amazing adviser and researcher! This is a great opportunity, in case you are looking for a PhD!

I enjoyed your paper Abeba Birhane! Thank you for it!

As you say, names are important. It would be great if you could say 'US' and not 'America', in the paper, when you mean US. We Latinamericans are also suffering from colonialism, and from data extractivism through undersea cables.

Extensión de deadline al *6 de mayo* de nuestro workshop C3NLP con la ACL 2024! Esperamos sus trabajos sobre distintas culturas en #NLProc y los posibles daños de la falta de inclusión.
