Small and Efficient Language Models: Defining "low- resource" languages in NLP with Atnafu Tonja

In this episode of Root Access, we dive deep into two groundbreaking research papers with Atnafu Tonja, that challenge conventional thinking in Natural Language Processing (NLP). First, we explore the complexity of defining "low-resource" languages in The Zeno's Paradox of Low-Resource Languages (https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.20817). Next, we take a look at InkubaLM (https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.17024), a small yet powerful language model designed to meet the needs of African languages. It is a first step in proving that efficiency and accessibility are key for low-resource language models.
