Our projects
Solutions developed by the AI for Uganda core team.
Pearl model: English to Luganda translation
The Pearl model (23M-translate-v2) is a Transformer-based NMT model for English-to-Luganda translation, built from scratch with 23M parameters. Supports longer sequences (512 tokens), deeper architecture (6 layers), a 16K-token vocabulary, and uses the original Transformer learning rate schedule.
Student projects
Innovative capstone projects from our program graduates.
Pneumonia detection using chest X-rays
This app uses a ResNet50-based deep learning model to detect pneumonia in chest X-ray images. It applies transfer learning to deliver fast, accurate predictions that support early diagnosis and assist healthcare providers.
