AIhub monthly digest: January 2023 – low-resource language projects, Earth's nightlights and a Lanfrica milestone

Welcome to our January 2023 monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, get the low-down on recent events, and much more. This month, we highlight some of the projects pertaining to low-resource languages, hear about counterfactual explanations for land cover mapping, and find out about machine learning techniques for night-time remote sensing. We are delighted to share the second article in our focus series on "AI around the world": Natural Language Processing for low-resource languages. This time we enter the domain of natural language processing and highlight some of the work and initiatives being carried out on low-resource languages. In our latest episode of New voices in AI, Srija Chakraborty tells us about her work applying machine learning techniques to night-time remote sensing for measuring nightlights from a variety of natural and artificial sources.
