CMU-Africa NLP Research Group
Controlled access. Pre-authorization by group admins required.
We are an interdisciplinary research group at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, focused on developing language technologies that reflect the linguistic diversity and academic ambitions of the African continent.
Our projects span several core areas of natural language processing, with a focus on African language technology and responsible AI development.
Developing high-performance machine translation, speech processing, code-switching detection, and African sign language video encoders optimized for resource-constrained contexts.
Auditing LLM judges, benchmarking cultural sensitivity and gender bias, mitigating deceptive behaviors, and exploring AI safety frameworks across the African continent.
Deploying language technologies for high-impact social domains, including dementia detection models, caregivers' communication assistants, and grounded personalization.
Optimizing model resource footprints and saving energy by engineering parameter-elastic neurons and extreme compression algorithms for Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs).
