Natural Language Processing, better known by its acronym NLP, is taking the world by storm. After the major strides taken by researchers all over the world in the field of Computer Vision, lessons learnt are now being transferred over to the field of NLP and quickly ushering a language and automation revolution. In this article we will talk about how you can do emotion and sentiment analysis using the new (currently invite only Alpha) Nena API endpoints.
Nena, meaning “speak” or “say” in Swahili, is a project and initiative by the Mary.Africa team to automate, support, scale and empower Swahili…
How we are using AI to help healthcare providers make better clinical decisions in Tanzania.
AI in Healthcare (A Brief Overview)
Technologies that utilize Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are transforming healthcare. These technologies allow us to generate unprecedented advancements in disease detection, cancer diagnosis and treatment, radiology, epidemic outbreaks, patient triage, and personalized healthcare. Companies like SkinVision, for example, are using image recognition to detect early signs of skin cancer growth and track patient risk over time. IBM, through Watson for Genomics and Watson for Oncology, is integrating machine learning and healthcare in an attempt to develop better diagnostics and treatments for patients with cancer…
There’s no doubt that the Sahara Sparks 2018 + AfriLabs Annual Gathering 2018 generates buzz and excitement — it’s the largest innovation and technology entrepreneurship event in Africa.

I tried out PyTorch after hearing all hype surrounding the framework and I have never looked back!
Coming from a Tensorflow background, the simplicity of PyTorch was so very alien and surely it couldn’t be this easy. I assure you though, it is!
In this post we will first introduce PyTorch, keywords and concepts, and build a simple feedforward neural network that will learn the underlying function of the given quadratic equation below:
This post aims to get our feet wet in PyTorch. To install PyTorch follow the instructions on the website pytorch.org.
PyTorch is awesome!
