Adapting Pre-trained Language Models to African Languages via Multilingual Adaptive Fine-Tuning

Research

This paper introduces multilingual adaptive fine-tuning (MAFT) applied to 17 of the most-resourced African languages, producing the AfroXLMR family of models. Removing non-African-script tokens cuts model size by roughly 50 percent while matching the accuracy of single-language adaptation on named entity recognition, topic classification and sentiment analysis.
