What is Aya?
Recent breakthroughs in NLP technology have focused on English, leaving other languages behind. One of the biggest hurdles to improving multilingual model performance is access to high-quality examples of multilingual text. In January 2023 the Cohere For AI community set out on an ambitious open science research project.
With members from over 100 countries around the world, we sought to leverage the great strength of our diversity to make meaningful contributions to fundamental machine-learning questions. Our ultimate goal is to release a high-quality multilingual dataset. In sharing this artifact broadly, we will support future projects that aim to build technology for everyone, including those who use any of the 7,000+ languages spoken around the world. As technological progress races forward, join us to ensure no language is left behind.
