Infrastructure for African Languages
Increasing representation of African languages in NLP, LLMs, and AI
African Languages continue to lag behind in the rapid advancements of language technology and applications driven by LLMs. Princeton’s Infrastructure for African Languages initiative aims to increase representation of African languages while also foregrounding their values and culture.
This group runs a series projects, courses, and hosts speakers to generate campus-wide discussion about this important topic.
