Introduction
This project is a collaboration between NUS and a multi-institutional NZ data science research team from Massey University and the University of Auckland to develop novel NLP techniques for an intelligent conversational Q&A system in Malay, Singlish, and te reo Māori. We will focus developing NLP methodologies for low-resource setting for the Malay/Singlish Q&A module while our NZ collaborators will focus on Māori Q&A.
