# Bambara FastText Embeddings
|
19 |
+
|
20 |
+
## Model Description
|
21 |
+
|
22 |
+
This model provides FastText word embeddings for the Bambara language (Bamanankan), a Mande language spoken primarily in Mali. The embeddings capture semantic relationships between Bambara words and enable various NLP tasks for this low-resource African language.
|
23 |
+
|
24 |
+
**Model Type:** FastText Word Embeddings
|
25 |
+
**Language:** Bambara (bm)
|
26 |
+
**License:** Apache 2.0
|
27 |
+
|
28 |
+
|
29 |
+
## Model Details
|
30 |
+
|
31 |
+
### Model Architecture
|
32 |
+
- **Algorithm:** FastText with subword information
|
33 |
+
- **Vector Dimension:** 300
|
34 |
+
- **Vocabulary Size:** 9,973 unique Bambara words
|
35 |
+
- **Training Method:** Skip-gram with negative sampling
|
36 |
+
- **Subword Information:** Character n-grams (enables handling of out-of-vocabulary words)
|
37 |
+
|
38 |
+
### Training Data
|
39 |
+
The model was trained on Bambara text corpora, building upon the work of David Ifeoluwa Adelani's research on African language embeddings.
|
40 |
+
|
41 |
+
### Intended Use
|
42 |
+
This model is designed for:
|
43 |
+
- **Semantic similarity tasks** in Bambara
|
44 |
+
- **Information retrieval** for Bambara documents
|
45 |
+
- **Cross-lingual research** involving Bambara
|
46 |
+
- **Cultural preservation** and digital humanities projects
|
47 |
+
- **Educational applications** for Bambara language learning
|
48 |
+
- **Foundation for downstream NLP tasks** in Bambara
|
