dc.description.abstractThis work details the organisation of the AI4D - African Language Dataset Challenge, an effort to incentivize the creation, organization and discovery of African language datasets through a competitive challenge. As language and speech technologies become more advanced, the lack of fundamental digital resources for African languages (such as data, spell checkers and Part of Speech taggers) adds to the digital divide. Zindi, an African data science competition platform, hosted the AI4D - African Language Dataset Challenge in a bid to leverage the Zindi user base of 12,000 individuals.en
