Better Data, Bolder AI - No SEA Language Left Behind

For the upcoming July DataScienceSG Meetup, we're going inside SEA-LION, AI Singapore's open-source multilingual LLM built for Southeast Asia which has picked up international traction! Synopsis Thousands of languages are spoken across the world, yet only a handful are well-represented in AI. The result? Applications that underperform, and entire communities left out of the benefits of modern AI. The SEA-LION team from AI Singapore and Adaption are working to change that. Join us to learn how they're improving multilingual AI by tackling one of the field's biggest challenges: building high-quality datasets for low-resource languages. Using Southeast Asia as a proving ground, they'll share the technical and collaborative efforts behind developing more inclusive language models. At this event, you'll: Learn how AI Singapore and Adaption collaborated to build and improve SEA-LION. Understand why data for low-resource languages remains one of the biggest bottlenecks in AI. Explore practical approaches to improving dataset quality and model performance. Connect with researchers, developers, and the broader AI community advancing inclusive AI. Whether you're a developer, researcher, linguist, or simply someone who believes AI should work for everyone, everywhere, come be part of the conversation.
