We take a step towards addressing the under-representation of the African continent in NLP research by creating the first large publicly available high-quality dataset for named entity recognition (NER) in ten African languages, bringing together a variety of stakeholders. We detail characteristics of the languages to help researchers understand the challenges that these languages pose for NER. We analyze our datasets and conduct an extensive empirical evaluation of state-of-the-art methods across both supervised and transfer learning settings. We release the data, code, and models in order to inspire future research on African NLP.

Prompt, Translate, Fine-Tune, Re-Initialize, or Instruction-Tune? Adapting LLMs for In-Context Learning in Low-Resource Languages
In a large benchmark, prompting and translate-test outperform gradient-based adaptation for in-context learning in low-resource languages, with degradation traced to catastrophic forgetting.
