A one-year long international research workshop on large multilingual models and datasets. We created, among other cool things, ROOTS: A 1.6TB Composite Multilingual Dataset that was then used to train BLOOM: A 176B-Parameter Open-Access Multilingual Language Model.

BERTIN is a series of RoBERTa-based models in Spanish trained using a novel sampling technique that we call "perplexity sampling". More detailed info can be found in the model card and the paper BERTIN: Efficient Pre-Training of a Spanish Language Model using Perplexity Sampling.

The first NLP course from zero to hero in Spanish. It's open-source and was organized by SomosNLP with the support of Spain AI. I taught the classes on sequential models and the Transformer architecture.

A series of Spanish language models trained with Flax/Jax and using TPUs sponsored by Google during the Flax/Jax Community Week organized by Hugging Face in June 2021. Here are the model cards: GPT-2 model , T5 model and Wav2Vec2 model.

A program where we provide women entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, mentoring and network to successfully realize their startup/business idea in the AI sector.

Addition of 3 datasets in Spanish to the huggingface/datasets library during the open-sprint organized by Hugging Face in Dec 2020. The datasets are HEAD-QA (a multi-choice HEAlthcare Dataset), the dataset of the eHealth-KD Challenge at IberLEF 2020, and the Spanish Billion Words Corpus.

PyPI package to perform quality analyses on ML models. It focuses on the three quality pillars: functionality, robustness and explainability.
