28.06.2024 I touched down in heaven. When I started research it was because I couldn’t communicate with my mum from Russia. 4 years later, my contributions made it happen. Mum, this is for you 🙏🏿🥰 Thank you for everyone who helped & thanks Isaac Caswell for the acknowledgement of my huge contribution to this. I thank Ricardo Ahouanvlame and Fabroni Bill YƆCLOUNON - they endlessly work on creating resources on the language, and have been my non-AI partner in crime Every time at a top AI conferences, I endlessly share my works on Fon, papers, models - people usually ask me “what’s all this for” — well today we can all see. We moved the odds. I am already working on next step: Text to Speech, we need to make AI systems that can read our language
