I’ll be there!

A major AI conf - ICLR 2023 - is scheduled to happen in Africa next week — in Kigali Rwanda

Last year Google added several African languages to Google Translate and Meta did something similar with their “No Language Left Behind” open source mode

What a time to be alive! [1/n]

[Andrew Bredenkamp @abredenkamp]

All this AI about, but I still can’t just enter a date in a spreadsheet in English and have it parse it. How hard is “Monday May 1st” -> 01/05/2023 (or 05/01/2023 whatever)?

[Andrew Bredenkamp @abredenkamp]

@aremuadeolajr And of course “being trained on language X” ≠ “being useful for any practical application in language X”.

[Andrew Bredenkamp @abredenkamp]

@alienelf Jade - you are force for good in the world. Look after yourself.

[Avery Edison @aedison]

I wrote “I am alive” on a piece of paper, and placed it into a photocopier. What I saw next has shocking implications

[Andrew Bredenkamp @abredenkamp]

Now, this is getting interesting…
