Very interested in the development of NLP resources for African language. I was involved the development of FastText embeddings for Yorùbá, text classification and named entity recognition datasets [Hugging Face – On a mission to solve NLP, one commit at a time.](https://huggingface.co/datasets?search=yoruba)

Working on NER datasets and developing BERT LMs for African languages

I speak Yorùbá, English and a little German
