CohereAIHack Challenge

▷Build a solution that incorporates Cohere's Multilingual Embeddings Model◁

Innovation is a critical component of progress and growth, and fostering creativity and collaboration is key to driving innovation. However, in many context, communication barriers, cultural differences, and other factors can impede innovation and limit its potential impact. To foster innovation in Africa and beyond, we challenge participants to develop a solution that leverages Cohere's multilingual embedding to enhance communication, collaboration, and creativity among individuals and organizations. 

The official hackathon dates are  28th April - 13th of May, 2023 (online + in-person hacking possible on the 6th of May for certain locations). See the rules page for more information.

Once a team is formed, register your team's name in the registration form. The deadline is Friday 5th of May 2023, 23:59 WAT.

Your Solution

• Should leverage Cohere's multilingual embedding to develop a tool or application that empowers innovation in a specific domain or context. 
• Should be innovative, user-friendly, and have the potential to impact a wide range of individuals and organizations.

Get started

Cohere's Multilingual Model maps text to a semantic vector space, positioning text with a similar meaning in close proximity. This process unlocks a range of valuable use cases for multilingual settings. For example, one can map a query to this vector space during a search to locate relevant documents nearby. This often yields search results that are several times better than keyword search. 

Cohere's multilingual embedding supports over 100 languages across the world. These are some of machine learning tasks that are possible with this model

• Semantic Search: you can build an app that enables users to search using conversational language 
• Topic Modeling: you can cluster similar topics and discover thematic trends across a body of text sources
• Recommendations: you can build a recommendation engine and engage your users with more relevant content
• Multilingual embedding: you can run a topic modelling, semantic search, and recommendations across 100+ languages with just one model
