Training Details

Training Data

The source data used to train the model came from the paper 'Preparing Vuk...' referenced below:

  • Lastrucci, R., Dzingirai, I., Rajab, J., Madodonga, A., Shingange, M., Njini, D. and Marivate, V., 2023. Preparing the Vuk'uzenzele and ZA-gov-multilingual South African multilingual corpora. arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.03750.

Number of sentences in datasets: 'nso': 5007, 'tsn': 4851, 'sot': 5075, 'xho': 5219, 'zul': 5103, 'nbl': 5600, 'ssw': 5210, 'ven': 5119, 'tso': 5193, 'af': 5252, 'eng': 5552 Train Test split: Train: 70% of minimum, 15% of minimum size, Dev: remaining sample

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
