Funding Opportunity: Lacuna Fund Proposals for Natural Language Datasets in English, French, Portuguese, or Spanish

Dear Community,

We are delighted to announce an opportunity to fund projects focused on creating or enhancing Natural Language datasets in English, French, Portuguese, or Spanish. In collaboration with Lacuna Fund, the National Center for Artificial Intelligence (CENIA) has opened a call for proposals specifically targeting Latin America and Africa.

This initiative aims to contribute to the development of language technologies that are inclusive and representative of diverse linguistic communities. By supporting the creation of high-quality datasets, we can ensure that innovations in AI and Natural Language Processing are accessible and beneficial to a broader range of people, particularly in regions that are often underrepresented in global research efforts.

Lacuna Fund is an initiative that funds the creation of high-quality open data to close critical knowledge gaps. Its goal is to empower institutions, organizations, and academic groups by providing resources that enable the development of innovative and sustainable solutions.

Don’t miss this chance to make a difference in the field of Natural Language Processing and AI!
