hadrianpaulo··on AI translates Hokkien, an unwritten language, for the first time
This is amazing work from Meta and Peng-Jen Chen.

As a person who grew up having Hokkien as my first language, I've feared that Hokkien might go extinct over time. Having a formal English and Mandarin Chinese education had pretty much started to erase my Hokkien knowledge. I'm glad that AI technologies can be used to preserve this language.

Hmm, you can really see how biased the datasets are towards certain groups.

For example, type in "Filipino" and you get NSFW photos.

Filipino is what we call citizens of the Philippines, btw.

hadrianpaulo··on The Cavendish Banana Will Soon Be Gone
This is a real problem for my country (Philippines), especially for provinces and agricultural companies that grow and sell Cavendish bananas. Banana production and exports were lessened by at least 20% just last 2015 and it's largely attributed to the Panama Wilt. Sadly, no solutions to cure the disease exist right now even with years of multinational research.
