We have two papers accepted to #SIGIR2024!
1) On Backbone and Training Regimes for Dense Retrieval in African Languages.
2) CIRAL: A Test Collection for CLIR Evaluations in African Languages led by @AdeyemiMofe
ππ We find that, though LLMs perform better in English reranking, there is still competitive performance in monolingual (African queries -> African passages) vs. cross-lingual (English queries -> African passages) scenarios, more so in using translations generated by the LLM.
The obvious question: How do the latest prompt-decoder LLMs for listwise reranking perform on low-resource languages? For four African languages (Hausa, Somali, Swahili, and Yoruba), @AdeyemiMofe @theYorubayesian @rpradeep42 provide the answer: arxiv.org/abs/2312.16159

Starting with a meticulous audit of mC4's document sources, we curate a new dataset, Wura, which covers 16 African languages + English, French, Portuguese and Arabic. Wura contains 4.7M documents in African languages - more than 1.5x what mC4 contains!

We've been doing some research on scaling pretraining data and language models for African languages and I'm excited to share our research at EMNLP 2023!
Work done with @AdeyemiMofe @orevaahia @j___y_t @AbrahamOwos @davlanade and @lintool
Here's a primer:

Bosun Tijani deserves a national award. He started something at a time when no one was interested in doing any such thing & most of what we're experiencing today in tech is a direct or indirect effect of Cc-Hub.

It has been hard not to be emotional when thinking about this stranger and his wife.
71 years ago, they made vows to each other, among which I assume was the promise to love one another in sickness and in health.
As this man's memory fades, he holds onto that promise. 3/
