Cendol: Open Instruction-tuned Generative Large Language Models for Indonesian Languages
Large language models (LLMs) show remarkable human-like capability in various domains and languages. However, a notable quality gap arises in low-resource languages, e.g., Indonesian indigenous languages, rendering them ineffective and inefficient in such linguistic contexts. To bridge this quality gap, we introduce Cendol, a collection of Indonesian LLMs encompassing both decoder-only and encoder-decoder architectures across a range of model sizes. We highlight Cendol's effectiveness across a …

Wow. I grew up in 1970s #Indonesia reading Bobo, a magazine for kindergarteners and elementary kids. It was a magazine published by Gramedia, an Indonesian publisher, and featured the adventures of a blue bunny named Bobo and his extended family, as well as a collection of recurring characters like a pink elephant (Bona) and her cat friend (Rong Rong), and other articles.

my friend told me that if I learn and practice #Indonesian for few months I will be speaking and writing great and possibly be able to go there.

One thing that the fediverse does not currently provide is the avalanche of indonesian dick pics I was used to on X. Not saying I _miss_ it but it's been such a ritual each day that I kinda do.

Returning the endangered slow loris to its wild Javan home
How a team of Indonesian conservationists is rehabilitating illegally traded Javan slow lorises so they can reclaim their lives in the wild.

This chart explains, quite clearly, why I have so few #Indonesian male friends.

Why is it when I search for 'CMIIW' ('correct me if I'm wrong'), on most corners of the World Wide Web and Social Media, I almost always essentially exclusively wind up encountering Indonesian-language content...?

On revolutionary hope:
My hope is for no more CIA assassinations of African leaders. No more Indonesian slaves on fishing boats. No more genocide of Palestinians. No more CIA-ran Columbian drug rings. No more Epstein islands.
All of that is achievable by wrecking the US from the inside.

I'm beginning to learn #Indonesian
if someone wants to practice basics maybe discord?

SemEval-2024 Task 1: Semantic Textual Relatedness for African and Asian Languages
We present the first shared task on Semantic Textual Relatedness (STR). While earlier shared tasks primarily focused on semantic similarity, we instead investigate the broader phenomenon of semantic relatedness across 14 languages: Afrikaans, Algerian Arabic, Amharic, English, Hausa, Hindi, Indonesian, Kinyarwanda, Marathi, Moroccan Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, Punjabi, Spanish, and Telugu. These languages originate from five distinct language families and are predominantly spoken in Africa …

Komodo: A Linguistic Expedition into Indonesia's Regional Languages
The recent breakthroughs in Large Language Models (LLMs) have mostly focused on languages with easily available and sufficient resources, such as English. However, there remains a significant gap for languages that lack sufficient linguistic resources in the public domain. Our work introduces Komodo-7B, 7-billion-parameter Large Language Models designed to address this gap by seamlessly operating across Indonesian, English, and 11 regional languages in Indonesia. Komodo-7B is a family of LLMs t…
