| Challenge: | a new study describes the process of data processing and training of an automatic speech recognition system for Cook Islands Mori . the system is based on statistical and Deep Learning techniques, and is available under a license . |
| Approach: | They describe the process of data processing and training of an automatic speech recognition system for Cook Islands Mori . they transcribed four hours of speech from adults and elderly speakers of the language and prepared two experiments . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can perform better with low-resource Indigenous languages . the system can be used to accelerate the documentation of Cook Islands Mori . |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a small dataset of 5923 Bribri-Spanish pairs is used to train low-resource NMT models . |
| Approach: | They propose a Chibchan NMT model and dataset with an average performance of BLEU 16.91.7 for Bribri. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on the Bribri dataset by 1.0 BLEU, but only when the new Spanish sentences belong to the same domain as the other Spanish examples. |
