AViLaMa : African Vision-Languages Aligment Pre-Training Model.

Learning Visual Concepts Directly From African Languages Supervision. Paper is coming

Model Details

AViLaMa is the large open-source text-vision alignment pre-training model in African languages. It brings a way to learn visual concepts directly from African languages supervision. Inspired from OpenAI CLIP, but with more modalities like video, audio, etc.. and other techniques like agnostic languages encoding, data filtering network. All for more than 12 African languages, trained on the #AViLaDa-2B datasets of filtered image, video, audio-text pairs. We are also working to make it usable in directly vision-vision tasks.
