- MasakhaNER: Named Entity Recognition for African Languages (2021 · 429 citations)
African languages are largely missing from NLP resources, and NER in particular has had almost no public, human-annotated benchmarks for them. - IrokoBench: A New Benchmark for African Languages in the Age of Large Language Models (2025 · 69 citations)
Large language models are usually tested in English and a few other well-resourced languages. When African languages are tested at all, it is mostly on simple classification, so we know little about how well models reason or recall knowledge in them. The authors built IrokoBench to fill this gap. Professional…
