| Summary difficulty | Written by | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| High | Paper authors | High Difficulty Summary Read the original abstract here |
| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary A novel approach to improving accessibility and readability of Nollywood movies is presented, leveraging phonetic subtitle models and advanced toxicity detectors. The proposed model translates Nigerian English speech into American English, tackling the challenges posed by dialectal differences. Additionally, the study employs cutting-edge toxicity detection methods to analyze the linguistic content of these videos, with a focus on highlighting often-overlooked text that may be obscured due to language barriers. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary Nollywood movies are popular films from Nigeria, but many people can’t understand them because they’re spoken in a special way. This article tries to fix this problem by creating two tools: one translates the speech into American English and another detects if the words are mean or hurtful. The goal is to make these videos more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, especially since some Nigerians speak different languages at home. |
