Huge Win Today 🎉🎉
Our team “Afri-Aya” just won this year’s CohereAI Aya Expedition. Our work focused on 1) curating and evaluating culturally relevant African vision dataset then 2) Fine-tuning the Aya vision model to support underrepresented languages in Africa. I represented my beloved Sierra Leone with the Krio language. Krio is a beautiful first language spoken by a majority of our population. It was a humbling and inspiring experience to have it recognized, thanks to the relentless effort of everyone on the team. Special thanks to BK for offering me this opportunity 🫡 and to Cohere AI for such an amazing global research expedition🙏
