Konkani LLM: Multi-Script Instruction Tuning and Evaluation for a Low-Resource Indian Language

Researchers developed Konkani LLM, a specialized language model for the low-resource Indian language Konkani, using a synthetic 100k instruction dataset. The model addresses training data scarcity across multiple scripts (Devanagari, Romi, Kannada) and demonstrates competitive performance against proprietary models in machine translation tasks.
