- MasakhaNEWS: News Topic Classification for African languages (2023 · 81 citations)
African languages are spoken by about a fifth of humanity, yet they have few evaluation datasets. Most existing news topic resources cover single languages, use inconsistent label sets, or were labelled with little human oversight. MasakhaNEWS addresses this gap. It is a news topic classification benchmark for 16… - AfriSpeech-200: Pan-African Accented Speech Dataset for Clinical and General Domain ASR (2023 · 45 citations)
Speech recognition systems now reach near-human accuracy on standard English benchmarks. They still perform poorly on African-accented speech, and no public resource existed for clinical ASR on such accents. This gap matters for African clinicians, who face heavy patient loads and could benefit from dictation tools.… - AfriMed-QA: A Pan-African, Multi-Specialty, Medical Question-Answering Benchmark Dataset (2025 · 22 citations)
LLMs score well on medical exam benchmarks, but those benchmarks come mostly from Western sources. It is unclear whether the models handle African clinical contexts, regional disease patterns and local varieties of English. To test this, the authors built AfriMed-QA, an English medical QA benchmark covering the whole… - Advancing African-Accented English Speech Recognition: Epistemic Uncertainty-Driven Data Selection for Generalizable ASR Models (2025 · 3 citations)
Commercial and open ASR systems handle African-accented English poorly, because such accents are rare in their training data and transcribed speech is costly to collect.
