They still perform poorly on African-accented speech, and no public resource existed for clinical ASR on such accents. This gap matters for African clinicians, who face heavy patient loads and could benefit from dictation tools.… 2. **[Afrispeech-Dialog: A Benchmark Dataset for Spontaneous English Conversations in Healthcare and Beyond](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sanni-2025-afrispeech-dialog-benchmark-dataset-spontaneous/)** *(2025 · 11 citations)* Speech systems are now common in clinics and call centers, but little is known about how they handle African-accented English in long, spontaneous dialogue. 3. **[Learning from Scarcity: Building and Benchmarking Speech Technology for Sukuma.](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mgonzo-2026-learning-scarcity-building-benchmarking-speech/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Sukuma is a Bantu language of northern Tanzania with roughly 10 million speakers, but it has had no public speech data or models. 4. **[Afri-MCQA: Multimodal Cultural Question Answering for African Languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tonja-2026-afri-mcqa-multimodal-cultural-question/)** *(2026)* Afri-MCQA addresses a gap in multimodal AI evaluation. Existing cultural VQA benchmarks cover few African languages and query models only through text, even though many African languages are used mainly in spoken form. The authors built a benchmark of about 7.5k image-grounded question–answer pairs in 15 sub-Saharan… ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[CVQA: Culturally-diverse Multilingual Visual Question Answering Benchmark ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.05967) arXiv:2406.05967 · no summary yet**David Romero et al.*2024 · 90 citations* 2. **[AfriSpeech-200: Pan-African Accented Speech Dataset for Clinical and General Domain ASR](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/olatunji-2023-afrispeech-200-pan-african-accented/) [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/)**Tobi Olatunji, Tejumade Afonja, Aditya Yadavalli, et al.*2023 · 45 citations* 3. **[AfriMTE and AfriCOMET: Enhancing COMET to Embrace Under-resourced African Languages ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.naacl-long.334/) Proceedings of the 2024 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Jiayi Wang et al.*2024 · 39 citations* 4. **[Afrispeech-Dialog: A Benchmark Dataset for Spontaneous English Conversations in Healthcare and Beyond](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sanni-2025-afrispeech-dialog-benchmark-dataset-spontaneous/) [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/)**Mardhiyah Sanni, Tassallah Abdullahi, Devendra Deepak Kayande, et al.*2025 · 11 citations* 5. **[CaMMT: Benchmarking Culturally Aware Multimodal Machine Translation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2025.findings-emnlp.1220/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EMNLP 2025 · no summary yet**Emilio Villa-Cueva et al.*2025 · 5 citations* 6. **[Learning from Scarcity: Building and Benchmarking Speech Technology for Sukuma.](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mgonzo-2026-learning-scarcity-building-benchmarking-speech/) [Workshop on Language Models for Low-Resource Languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/loreslm/)**Macton Mgonzo, Kezia Oketch, Naome A Etori, et al.*2026 · 2 citations* 7. **[Afri-MCQA: Multimodal Cultural Question Answering for African Languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tonja-2026-afri-mcqa-multimodal-cultural-question/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Atnafu Lambebo Tonja, Srija Anand, Emilio Villa-Cueva, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 12 of 19 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Atnafu Lambebo Tonja](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/atnafu-lambebo-tonja/) ×2 - [Michael Samwel Mollel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-samwel-mollel/) ×2 - [Tobi Olatunji](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tobi-olatunji/) ×2 - [Aditya Yadavalli](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aditya-yadavalli/) - [Bonaventure F.
