It's been 4 years since the inception of ML Collective. Through 500+ events, we nurtured ML researchers around the world.
We've been operating w/o formally raising any money, but people's awareness and kindness. Today, we finally set up a donation page to help us do better.

🏆 We won the best paper award at AfricaNLP!!
Huge shoutout to @AbrahamOwos and the @ml_collective (Nigeria) community, this idea was first shared on our discord. Grateful to see it grow into something impactful.✨
🎉 Our paper was accepted to the AfricaNLP Workshop at ACL 2025! 🇦🇹
In ths work, we investigate how LLMs struggle as typographical noise increases in Yorùbá question answering tasks, unlike their robustness on noisy English text.

A little while ago, many of you gave generously to support a number of MLC-Nigeria researchers in attending Deep Learning Indaba #DLI2025. Here's the crew 👇that attended; from what we hear it was a bustle of talks, posters, mentorship, and sparks of collaboration!
Today we say goodbye to @DeepIndaba after six inspiring days in Kigali rich with keynotes, tutorials, workshops, mentorship circles, and insightful posters that kept us learning non-stop. Some of us were only able to make it down to #DLI2025 because of your generous support.
Starting at 10am PT. Zoom link from mlcollective.org/events/ page:

We are HALFWAY there! Thanks to all those who've kindly contributed 🙏🙏
With Indaba <4 weeks away, let's send all the 25 African researchers to their dream conference!

The opportunity gap in AI is more striking than ever. We talk way too much about those receiving $100M or whatever for their jobs, but not enough those asking for <$1k to present their work.
For 3rd year in a row, @ml_collective is raising funds to support @DeepIndaba attendees.

3rd year?! Wow. This is truly amazing and heartwarming to see. Let’s bridge the opportunity gap in AI—every dollar counts.

As a member of @ml_collective working on ASR + hate-speech detection for Nigerian languages, attending #DeepLearningIndaba for the first time this year would be transformative for me, accelerating my research. Your donations make this possible! 🙏

Our work, AfriMed-QA has been accepted to #ACL2025 main track!
In it, we introduce a Pan-African, multi-specialty medical QA benchmark to rigorously evaluate how LLMs perform across several medical specialties focused on Africa.
