AI4LAM is an international, participatory community focused on advancing the use of artificial intelligence in, for and by libraries, archives and museums.

Community call: September 19 2023

The theme of this month's Community Call is on Low Resource Languages. We will be joined by two speakers who utilise AI/ML in their work to tackle a multitude of issues faced when dealing with low-resource languages.

Chahan Vidal-Gorene (École nationale des Chartes-PSL, Calfa) will be discussing 'Dealing with Under-Resourced Oriental Scripts with AI', and Konstantinos Chatzitheodorou (Pangeanic) will present 'Building Machine-Translation Systems in Low-Resourced Languages for Europeana'.

Full details and joining link can be found in the agenda.
