Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for collecting data from high-income countries (HICs) make implicit assumptions about literacy and internet access, but in low-income and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) such assumptions may not hold for LICs where the bulk of the population lives. |
| Approach: | They propose a set of practical mitigation strategies to address the under-representation of illiterate communities in NLP corpora. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods address the under-representation of illiterate communities in NLP corpora and propose mitigation strategies to help future work. |
