Next was an amazing pair of talks by @armedchile (an ingenious method for combining high and low resource language data to build #LLMs that significantly improves translation performance) and Orevaoghene Ahia (subword tokenization effects on LLM costs/performance in different languages) at #Indaba2023. I'll be thinking about both talks for a long time - they have profound implications for the design of #GenerativeAI tech and business models. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVi9qB_1Ccw (3/11) #AI

Yesterday, we wrapped up our Geospatial workshop with Raffle draw by participants who discovered the hidden treasure at different locations at the DLI venue.

Huge congratulations to all the lucky winners of the raffle draw.

Take a glimpse at some of the winners in these captivating pictures.

Deep Learning Indaba Workshop Day 2

Currently at the IRCAI - International Research Center on Artificial Intelligence under the auspices of UNESCO's NAiXUS workshop on "Building a Global Network of AI Researchers on AI and the United Nations SDGs"

One standout insight came from the keynote speaker, Pelonomi Moiloa, who is also the founder of Lelapa AI.

She emphasized, "The true measure of a model's success lies in its acceptance within the community, regardless of the author's metrics."

It's the final day of the Deep Learning Indaba 2023.

Today promises to be another fantastic opportunity to learn and uncover new ideas.

Here's a brief outline of today's schedule.

Last was a nice talk by Hugo Larochelle on universal representation transformers at #Indaba2023. The idea here is intriguing - assemble a number of pre-trained transformer models and build a transformer on top of them to learn the right transformer to use depending on the query https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tc05RritQw (10/10) #AI

Next was an interesting panel with reflections from African #AI communities at #Indaba2023. The development of so many specific communities across the continent was great to see, and makes me excited to see the further work coming out of these groups in the coming years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvJHR4iBFkA (4/10) #Africa
