History
AI4Bharat was founded by two faculty members from the department of CSE in IIT Madras, Mitesh Khapra and Pratyush Kumar Panda.[3][4]
Projects
AI4Bharat works on multiple projects in AI-related domains like Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, etc.[5] Most of their works are open-sourced in GitHub.[6]
NLP for Indian Languages
Indic NLP is a project which revolves around creating a state-of-the-art ecosystem for NLP for Indian languages. Recently, they released BERT-based language models for 11 major Indian languages[7], before which they had also released a large text corpus for major Indian languages[8] as well as other benchmarks for NLP tasks.[9]
