> Zabantu( "Za" for South Africa, "bantu" for Bantu languages) is a collection of masked language models that have been trained from scratch using a compact dataset comprising various subsets of Bantu languages spoken in South Africa. These models are inspired by the work done on AfriBERTa, which demonstrated the effectiveness of training on XLM-R architecture using a smaller dataset. The focus of this work was to use LLMs to advance NLP applications in Tshivenda and also to serve as a benchmark for future works covering Bantu languages.
