Join the SEA-VL Project: Contribute Original Images and Shape AI Research for Southeast Asia

Contribute original photos to the SEA-VL Project and help build publicly available vision-based resources for Southeast Asian languages. Shape AI research by capturing culture through images and have the opportunity to be a co-author for the publication targeted for ACL 2025 or EMNLP 2024. Join our community on GitHub and Discord.
We’re excited to announce the SEA-VL Project, an initiative to create high-quality vision-language datasets for Southeast Asian (SEA) languages. Submit your original photos of culturally relevant scenes, arts, festivals, and more by January 15, 2023. Your contributions will help build a SEA-specific vision-language model, promoting greater representation in AI research. By participating, you’ll have the opportunity to be a co-author for the publication targeted for ACL 2025 or EMNLP 2024. Join our community on GitHub, Discord, and our SEA-VL announcement page to learn more and collaborate with fellow SEA researchers.
