category: Poster Session: 6 December Session P4: African Languages Poster Session
Abstract: Multilingualism and Diversity is the hallmark of African societal heritage, which can be exploited to foster unity in diversity, towards sustainable development. But challenges and opportunities abound in exploiting Language Technology (LT) potentials. Their under-resourcedness and rich contextual semantics features constitute a challenge, given that most of the LTs are validated using richly-resourced languages, such as English as test beds. There are also contextual issues bordering on paucity of internal capacity for exploiting the LT potentials. The poster draws from an on-going experience in working on LTs for some West and Southern African under-resourced languages, eliciting these challenges and opportunities.
