TensorFlow Meetup Tunis - Natural Language Processing With TF

Understanding Arabic language for Natural Language Processing tasks using TensorFlow.

If you like to learn how to build language and acoustique models using TensorFlow, register here ( https://forms.gle/1zZ7tiih3FqWceqA9 ) and join us for this meetup!

Overview:
In this TensorFlow Meetup we will explore some of the Natural Language Processing (NLP), Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text To Speech (TTS) applications for Arabic and North African dialects, using TensorFlow.
First, we will give an overview of the latest AI language models, trends and improvements . We will then explore some of the Tunisian dialect NLP challenges. We will explain how to build an ASR system for the Arabic language with TF. And finally, we will present a full TTS pipeline for transforming text to speech for a given language.

You will learn:
-About latest AI language models trends and use cases in the real world.
-How to use the pre-trained TunBERT-TF and finetune it for two downstream tasks: Sentiment Analysis and Dialect Identification.
-Techniques on how to improve acoustic models predictions, from data augmentation techniques to adding language models.
-How to build a pipeline for TTS for a chosen language and the best practices for creating a performant TTS module with TF.
-Q&A

Who should watch?
This meetup will be of interest to Students, Data Scientists, Software Engineers, Researchers for low resource languages, and Entrepreneurs in the areas of Telecommunication and Conversational AI.
