TemiYankey/Padie

An open-source Python package for conversational AI with support for Nigerian languages, including Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo. # 🌟 **Padie** 🌟 **Padie** is an evolving, open-source Python package designed to enable conversational AI systems with support for Nigerian languages, including **Pidgin**, **Yoruba**, **Hausa**, and **Igbo**. It aims to provide AI-powered tools for **language detection**, **intent recognition**, and **response generation**, while fostering community collaboration to enhance its capabilities. > **🔧 Note:** Padie is a work in progress. Models are being trained and refined, and we’re actively gathering datasets to improve accuracy. Your contributions can make a difference! --- ## ✨ **Features** - 🌍 **AI-Powered Language Detection** Automatically identify the language of input text across supported Nigerian languages. - 🎯 **AI-Powered Intent Recognition** Accurately understand user intentions across multiple domains and contexts. - 🤖 **Dynamic Response Generation** Generate intelligent, context-aware responses tailored to user input. - ⚙️ **Framework-Agnostic Design** Seamlessly integrate Padie into any framework or application. - 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 **Community Contributions** An open platform for developers, linguists, and AI enthusiasts to contribute datasets, models, and features. --- ## 🛠️ **Handling Datasets and Citations** ### **Dataset Format** Datasets should follow a structured format. Each entry must include at least the following fields: ```json { "text": "Example input text.", "label": "language_label", "format": "format_type", "source": { "provider": null, "url": null }, "citation": null } ``` ### **Citations** - If the data includes a citation, create a **unique citation code** (e.g., `"c1"`, `"c2"`) and add the citation details to a separate file named `citations.json`. - Replace the citation field in the dataset with the corresponding code. #### **Example Citation File (citations.json):** ```json { "c2": { "title": "Naija Language Translation", "author": "Wazobia", "year": 2021, "url": "example.com" } } ``` # …
