Selected Projects
Open-source contributions, research platforms, and side projects.
Masakhane Web Platform
A Mozilla-funded web platform for African language translation — similar to Google Translate but focused exclusively on African languages made available by the Masakhane community.
Masakhane Initiative
Putting African researchers from across the continent together to build translation models for African languages. Masakhane means "We Build Together" in isiZulu.
ORKG Leaderboards
Engineered the Leaderboards feature for the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) to automatically track and visualize state-of-the-art progress across scientific publications using Knowledge Graphs.
LiSTra Speech Translation
The first English-to-Lingala automatic speech translation dataset and baseline. Released a full pipeline for constructing similar datasets in other low-resource languages.
CNN Dog Breed Classifier
A Convolutional Neural Network that performs better than average humans at identifying dog breeds. Also produces an estimate of the closest-resembling dog breed for human photos.
Face Generation with DCGAN
Generating realistic face images using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN) — a pair of competing multilayer neural networks.
