Summary
PuoBERTa is a RoBERTa-based masked language model purpose-built for Setswana, trained on the PuoData corpus by the Data Science for Social Impact group. It ships with example scripts for fill-mask, news classification, NER and POS tagging via HuggingFace Transformers.
uroman is a universal romanizer that converts text in virtually any script to the Latin alphabet, with dedicated handling for Amharic and the Ge'ez/Ethiopic script. It also adds initial support for Coptic and processes script-native numerals.
