       * __Abstract__: In this presentation, I will discuss the training and evaluation of massively multilingual language models, capable of handling dozens or even hundreds of languages. After motivating the development of such models, I will draw some lessons learned in the course of developing  Glot500, a language model covering 500 languages,  and some associated resources. I will notably focus on the challenges raised by "low-resourced"  languages, i.e. languages for which the available learning data is often incomplete, highly specialised and also possibly very noisy.       * __Abstract__: In this presentation, I will discuss the training and evaluation of massively multilingual language models, capable of handling dozens or even hundreds of languages.

       * __Abstract__: We examine the relationship between Africa’s 2000 languages and contemporary language technologies. Our lens focuses on Swahili as a case study, the most widely spoken African language, the one with the most research and technological development, and a representative linguistic model for about 500 other Bantu languages. What has been done, what can be done, and what hasn’t been done for Swahili, and what does this say about 100 other languages with rapidly growing populations that are each spoken by millions of people around Africa?       * __Abstract__: We examine the relationship between Africa’s 2000 languages and contemporary language technologies.
