## Installation
1. Create and activate virtual environment:
```bash
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
## Development Workflow
### Running the Application

## Data Science Stack
This project uses the following libraries:
- **NumPy** - Numerical computations
- **Pandas** - Data manipulation and analysis
- **Matplotlib** - Data visualization
- **Scikit-learn** - Machine learning algorithms
## Project Goals
1. Build custom language models for African languages
2. Implement data processing pipelines
3. Create visualization tools for model analysis
4. Develop testing frameworks for model validation
## Getting Started
1. Clone the repository
2. Set up the virtual environment
3. Install dependencies
4. Run the main application
5. Explore the test suite
