🇳🇵 यदि तपाईंले यो पढ्न सक्नुहुन्छ भने हामीलाई तपाईंको मद्दत चाहिन्छ 🇳🇵 (If you can read this we need your help 😉) 🔬 For our upcoming AI for Women Farmers Challenge we are looking for AI for Good Engineers with a very specific profile! 🇳🇵 In collaboration with Heifer International, we will digitize handwritten Nepali databases using AI. Specifically, we will be addressing Optical Character Recognition for Devanagari script, which is the script used for Nepali and some of the most spoken Indian languages such as Hindi. We are doing this to assist agricultural cooperatives in making better use of their data. We would greatly benefit from Nepali-speaking data scientists with expertise in OCR. 🦄🦄 We're aware that those are rare. But if you meet 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 of these requirements we can really use your help: - Nepali native / or roots - Proficient in reading Devanagari script - Experience with OCR for handwritten text The Challenge starts on the 2nd of July and will take 10 weeks to complete! Check out the Challenge on our platform and "Apply as an expert" for free if you meet one of the requirements. https://lnkd.in/eiBe8hKj If you know anyone who meets these requirements please connect them to our Challenge manager Dorian Groen Applications are officially open until the 30th of June, but we can make an exception if you can valuably contribute to the Challenge 😁 #AIforGood #AIforAgriculture #DataScience #SDG
🇳🇵🇳🇵I'm very interested in joining this AI for Women Farmers Challenge! I have experience working on Nepali Text Detection and Recognition tasks. I recently open-sourced my Nepali handwritten text detection project and am now working on text recognition. I'd love to contribute. https://github.com/R4j4n/Nepali-Text-Detection-DBnet

1wHello! I am from Nepal studying in Netherlands right now, and am native fluent in both reading and writing the Devanagari Script. However, I am not a data scientist, and do not have experience with OCR. If there's still the possibility of collaborating, do let me know
