Dear Community,
I am writing to share an exciting chance to fund projects focused on creating or strengthening Natural Language datasets in English, French, Portuguese, or Spanish.
In collaboration with Lacuna Fund, the National Center for Artificial Intelligence https://www.cenia.cl/ (CENIA) has opened a call for proposals focused on Latin America and Africa. I kindly ask for your assistance in spreading the word about this initiative.
This is a significant opportunity to contribute to the development of language technologies that are inclusive and representative of diverse linguistic communities. By supporting the creation of high-quality datasets, we can ensure that innovations in AI and Natural Language Processing are accessible and beneficial to a broader range of people, particularly in regions that are often underrepresented in global research efforts.
Lacuna Fund is an initiative that funds the creation of high-quality open data to close critical knowledge gaps. Its goal is to empower institutions, organizations, and academic groups by providing resources that enable the development of innovative and sustainable solutions.
I invite you to learn more about the call for proposals here: https://lacunafund.org/apply/.
Cheers,
Felipe
