Natural Language Processing
Applying machine learning methods to make documentation more accessible for community-based language reclamation.
CEDaR space is a collaborative lab-studio at UBC Vancouver dedicated to the research and development of relational technologies in support of cultural sovereignty. We facilitate community-led innovation grounded in local contexts, politics, and protocols.
We are grateful to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking Musqueam people for their long-standing commitment to creating spaces of learning in their traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory, and for welcoming us to work with them in their homelands.
