Masakhane means "We Build Together" in isiZulu. Masakhane project is a research effort for natural language processing for African languages.
The project is open source and anyone interested can join to help in whichever way they can, be it ML or even helping in building and interpreting the data.
This project really makes me happy and brings some sort of pride that finally Africans are implementing Ubuntu in AI.
I am the one of the few, if not the only one, trying to put together something in Dinka language of South Sudan.
