From Scarcity to Efficiency: Investigating the Effects of Data Augmentation on African Machine Translation
The linguistic diversity across the African continent presents different challenges and opportunities for machine translation. This study explores the effects of data augmentation techniques in improving translation systems in low-resource African languages. We focus on two data augmentation techniques: sentence concatenation with back translation and switch-out, applying them across six African languages. Our experiments show significant improvements in machine translation performance, with a …

Age-checking tech for social media ban mistakes kids for 37-year-olds Children as young as 15 were repeatedly misidentified as being in their 20s and 30s during government tests of age-checking tools, sowing new doubts about whether the teen social media ban is viable.
He also warned the new rules for search engines could be circumvented using virtual private networks (VPNs). "If the ambition of the government is to prevent children from accessing pornography, they're forgetting straight away the skills of these young people," he said. Beyond concerns about the accuracy of age-assurance technology and the VPN workaround, the new search engine rules will still allow users to access adult content simply by not logging in.
