About us
Recently, there has been a realization that language technologies have been leaving certain languages behind - including most African languages. Major challenges boil down to lack of good (indeed often any) training data, as well as lack of adoption of major language technologies for local problems.
Ghana NLP is an Open Source Initiative focused on Natural Language Processing (NLP) of Ghanaian Languages, & its Applications to Local Problems. While we will begin work on Ghanaian languages initially, likely focusing on Twi due to number of speakers, our ultimate goal is for our tools to be applicable throughout the West African subregion and beyond.
Develop better data sources to train state-of-the-art (SOTA) NLP techniques for Ghanaian languages.
Contribute to adapting SOTA techiques to work better in a lower resource setting such as this one.
Build functional systems for local applications, e.g., a “Google Translate” for Twi, Ewe, Frafra, etc.
