The Centre for Language Technology is now collaborating on the TrustLLM project. This is very exciting and positive for the Faroese language.
The TrustLLM project is a collaboration between various institutions and universities from European countries. The Centre for Language Technology at the University of the Faroe Islands functions as an external collaborator.
TrustLLM develops reliable multilingual large language models (LLMs), focusing on European languages and contexts. The main objective of TrustLLM is to develop an open, trustworthy, and factual LLM, initially targeting Germanic languages, including Faroese. The role of the Center for Language Technology in this project involves collecting Faroese language data and consulting on linguistic issues regarding Faroese. Consequently, Faroese will be included in the final model, giving us in the Faroe Islands the novel opportunity to apply the model in a Faroese setting.
