ANGOFA: Leveraging OFA Embedding Initialization and Synthetic Data for Angolan Language Model
Researchers introduced ANGOFA, four pre-trained language models tailored for Angolan languages using Multilingual Adaptive Fine-tuning (MAFT) with OFA embedding initialization and synthetic data. The approach achieved 12.3 and 3.8 point improvements over previous state-of-the-art models, addressing a critical gap in NLP support for very-low resource African languages.
