Yoruba guys?

Nice one omo Kaaro ojiire

I don't understand, this seems like another version of Google translate, only issue is it's not even up to standard.

A team of uniilorin students IS or ARE

I see they intend taking data from my thesis without referencing me.
I did this as my thesis for Msc (Igbo), my colleague did for hausa and yoruba.
"A front end machine to man communication system in Igbo language using text to speech synthesis, concatenation algorithms".
We expect that they reference us else they should be ready to go to court as we're taking it further for research in our PHD where we develop both the front and back end.

We where supervised by Prof Ibiyemi.

Thanks

Can't u read
It's meant to preserve African languages

No wahala I can't read. If you think the African culture would be wiped out think again.

Well done guys. But what is the significance to man just asking?

It would bring our languages closer to modernity. I believe that one reason why a lot of languages become extinct is because they don't evolve hence they become insufficient to communicate with. Look at the English language. The vocabulary evolves steadily along with time. There's a marked difference between the form spoken today & that spoken say 300 years ago.

Language teaching starts from the home. I understand your point of view but I feel it's still irrelevant

Wow, this is indeed a progress even in d midst of all odds. Well done guys.....Up better by far

Sorry miss. But the algorithm is free for all, we have open source libraries but this guys built theirs.

I know because they are my mates and I related with Felix as an adviser before they launched it.

They should be applauded for building their library at least.

May Allah make it a success

Impressive. It's not easy trying to solve a problem.

We as the black race are our own worst enemy. We are always eager to keep each other down. Even if you thesis was used (which I strongly doubt is the case), shouldn't you be happy someone took the liberty of bringing it to life instead of letting it fade away on a shelf somewhere. This is shameful and immature. I'm disgusted.

tell them to reference me, we'd have no problem.

Make una reference am o.. she's crying for reference. Do you even know who the dean is? By the way your signature line gives a lot of meaning to your actions.

But bros...no vex o.
The standard practice world wide is that any one who quotes from a source, should quite the source.
From what I understand....she isn't saying that they should not use, quote, reference, copy, borrow, utilize her work.
She is only saying...(as rightly should be said), that reference is pointed out to her work.
I don't think that's hard.

my problem isnt what she is claiming, my problem is that where is the proof they copied her work. she just assumed since they came from her school that her work was copied.

Now she didn't even ask or make any inquiries she just demanded right of the bat that she be referenced and threatened with legal action right from the first post. If that isnt anti progressive I really don't know what is.

Even if it did happen that your work was referenced. The guys behind it are junior to you academically there is no harm in reaching out and correcting them about not referencing you and even further providing more help to make the project a successful one. There are ways to do things but trying to bring someone else down isn't one of those ways.

I repeat there is no proof your work was copied, the only proof you present is that you did it in the past. what if your predecessors actually come out to say you copied them as well, or was the the only one in the history of the entire school to do this project?

Ok I get you. You do have a point.
Perhaps she saw some evidence that proves that her work was used etc.
Its not something we should vex or quarrel about. I know she is seeing our conversation. And she will either cite her proof that her work was used or something.

Hahahahaha. Nigerians sha

Sorry for intruding bro. You're right, African culture can't be entirely wiped out. But African languages surely face threat of extinction. Pick 100 Nigerians for example, let them speak purely in their indigenous languages for 5mins, let's see how many of them could speak ten words without putting English into it.
