African Lecturer Makes History In His Country, Receives $30,000 Research Grant for His Artificial Intelligence Work
Cursory: A mathematics lecturer has been awarded a handsome grant by Google to aid in his AI research and also boost his NLP processing research, becoming the first person to receive that type of award from Google. The research, which started in 2020 is aimed at studying how computers process human language.
A lecturer of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Cape Coast has received a Google research grant of $30,000 to continue research in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The award was granted to Dr. Stephen Moore, who is also a co-founder of Ghana Natural Language Processing (Ghana NLP), to accelerate research in natural language processing (NLP) in low-resource languages in Ghana and Africa.
Natural Language Processing is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that is focused on how computers can process languages as humans do.Since 2020, Dr Moore and his colleagues at Ghana NLP have been developing tools for both text and speech translation of low-resource languages including Twi, Dagbani, Ewe, Ga, Guruni, Igbo, etc.
At the re-opening of Google’s new office in Accra, Ghana, in 2022, Dr Moore presented the state of the art of NLP development in Ghana and the opportunities the country will gain by training and developing young people for the future.

He presented the first Ghanaian Language translator; Khaya, that has been launched by Ghana NLP together with Algorine (a partner company of Ghana NLP). The app uses state-of-the-art language models from NLP with the ambition to create a unified translator for several languages in Africa.
Google gave the gift in recognition of Ghana NLP’s efforts towards both development of such important tools and the training of volunteers at Ghana NLP. Ghana NLP is a social enterprise seeking to make NLP accessible to Ghanaians through training, workshops and seminars. It is the first of such awards Google has granted to any Ghanaian researcher.
