The research will focus on post-training methods for these low-resourced languages, for example, by investigating the role of synthetic data, among other data augmentation techniques, and the role of in-context learning in modelling low-resource languages. Applicants are also expected to contribute to work on data pre-processing, tokenization, model training. The candidate will be affiliated to the project group Danish Foundation Models, (https://www.foundationmodels.dk/) which is a collaboration between several major universities in Denmark addressing the aforementioned initiative, including Aarhus University, Southern Danish University, the Alexandra Institute, and the University of Copenhagen.
