AfriDataHub's repository for developing datasets and NLP resources for Ibibio language. This repository supports the creation of parallel corpora and general language corpora, empowering AI applications that are inclusive and culturally relevant to Ibibio speakers. # AfriDataHub - Ibibio Language Dataset Repository Welcome to the AfriDataHub Ibibio repository! This repository is dedicated to building high-quality language datasets and natural language processing (NLP) tools for the Ibibio language, as part of AfriDataHub’s mission to enhance digital inclusion for African languages. Our goal is to create resources that enable culturally relevant AI applications in Ibibio. ## Project Overview The AfriDataHub initiative addresses the critical shortage of digital resources for African languages. This repository focuses on: - Building parallel corpora for machine translation between Ibibio and English. - Developing general language corpora to support NLP tasks such as text classification, sentiment analysis, and language modeling. ## Repository Structure - `data/`: Contains raw and processed datasets in multiple formats (e.g., `.txt`, `.csv`, `.json`). - `scripts/`: Scripts for data preprocessing, annotation, and dataset preparation. - `models/`: Pre-trained NLP models for Ibibio, such as machine translation and language models. - `docs/`: Documentation on dataset creation, licensing, and ethical considerations. - `community/`: Guidelines and resources for community contributions, including data collection and annotation guidelines. ## Getting Started To get started with using the datasets and models for Ibibio, please refer to our Usage Guide for detailed instructions on accessing and utilizing these resources. ## Community Contributions We welcome contributions from native speakers, linguists, and developers! You can support the project by: 1. Contributing language data (e.g., text samples, translations). 2. Annotating and validating datasets. 3. Sharing knowledge on Ibibio grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.
