Center for Low-Resource Languages and Cultures (CLRLC)

CLRLC is a language research AI organisation building datasets, models, and benchmarks for African and other low-resource languages.

What we build

• Datasets: speech and text corpora for African and other low-resource languages, including code-switched data
• Models: machine translation, speech (ASR and TTS), and NLP models for under-resourced languages
• Benchmarks: evaluation sets for low-resource, multilingual, and culturally grounded AI
• Tooling: pipelines and resources for ethical data collection and annotation

Research areas

• Low-resource and multilingual NLP
• Machine translation
• Speech technology
• Code-switching (including Yoruba, Igbo, and Nigerian Pidgin)
• Culturally grounded evaluation and benchmarking
• AI governance for African languages

Languages

African languages and other low-resource languages worldwide.
