Neural Machine Translation Models with Back-Translation for the Extremely Low-Resource Indigenous Language Bribri [PDF]
Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Computational Linguistics, 2020 This paper presents a neural machine translation model and dataset for the Chibchan language Bribri, with an average performance of BLEU 16.9±1.7. This was trained on an extremely small dataset (5923 Bribri-Spanish pairs), providing evidence for the applicability of NMT in extremely low-resource environments.

Explicit Tone Transcription Improves ASR Performance in Extremely Low-Resource Languages: A Case Study in Bribri [PDF]
Proceedings of the First Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Indigenous Languages of the Americas, 2021 Linguistic tone is transcribed for input into ASR systems in numerous ways. This paper shows a systematic test of several transcription styles, using as an example the Chibchan language Bribri, an extremely low-resource language from Costa Rica. The most successful models separate the tone from the vowel, so that the ASR algorithms learn tone patterns ...
