Bridging the Language Gap in Accessing Legal Resources Excited to share a quick glimpse into how we're leveraging OpenAI's GPT-4 at Rentervention to break down barriers in language and connectivity. In this video, we've enabled communication across a wide range of languages, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their primary language or access to broadband, can reach out for help and guidance. This isn't just about using cutting-edge technology; it's about making sure that crucial legal resources are accessible to those who need them most, especially those in under-served and under-connected communities. Our goal? To ensure that no one is left behind because of language barriers or digital divides. Check out the video to see how it works. We're excited about the doors this opens for many of our users and look forward to continuing to serve our community more effectively. #TechForGood #AccessToJustice #Innovation

I'm excited to share my recent involvement with Hugging Face & Argilla’s DIBT (Data Is Better Together) initiative, where I have begun working on the Swahili component of the MPEP (Multilingual Prompt Evaluation Project). For those passionate about enhancing LLM evaluation for Swahili, I invite you to join me in translating 500 high-quality prompts, carefully curated by the DIBT team, from English to Swahili. These prompts are designed to simulate natural conversations with your favorite LLM. I've incorporated some initial annotations based on Meta's NLLB model to facilitate our work. So far, we've successfully translated over 50 prompts, but there are still more than 450 to go—a journey we can embark on together! To participate, visit the Hugging Face Space for annotation here: https://lnkd.in/dkxPuemC Log in with your Hugging Face account to start annotating!
