Our work focuses on providing better representations of text and speech for these languages. I will present our approaches of features engineering (abstract syntax tree, distributional representation, &#8230;) and representation learning (multilingual, contrastive, &#8230;) to improve the quality of NLP models for African languages. <\/p>\n<p>We propose to combine the two classes of representations to enhance the integration of syntactic and semantic properties of African languages in NLP applications. I will also introduce recents research questions on  explainability using graph neural networks clustering-based models for the diarization.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel-grid\" id=\"pg-26288-1\" ><div class=\"panel-grid-core\"><div class=\"panel-grid-cell\" id=\"pgc-26288-1-0\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style\" ><div class=\"margin10\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel-grid\" id=\"pg-26288-2\" ><div class=\"panel-grid-core\"><div class=\"panel-grid-cell\" id=\"pgc-26288-2-0\" >&nbsp;<\/div><div class=\"panel-grid-cell\" id=\"pgc-26288-2-1\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style\" ><p><img src=\"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Esperanto_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/ ><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel-grid-cell\" id=\"pgc-26288-2-2\" >&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminare from Paulin M\u00e9latagia, Universit\u00e9 Yaound\u00e9 1, ESPERANTO secondee at LIUM &nbsp; Date: 13\/06\/2024 Time: 14h00 Localization: IC2, Boardroom Speaker: Paulin M\u00e9latagia &nbsp; &nbsp; Extend self supervised representation models with features engineering for NLP of African Languages &nbsp; Most of the African languages are low-resourced and their linguistic characteristics are different from those of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link style2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/extend-self-supervised-representation-models-with-features-engineering-for-nlp-of-african-languages\/\"  class=\"themebutton\"><span class=\"more-text\">READ MORE<\/span><span class=\"more-icon\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right fa-lg\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":13238,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[46,43],"tags":[49],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26288"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
