Research & resources

Build on shared knowledge.

Follow our research priorities, find Buuni on GitHub and talk to us about the language resources your work needs.

Where to start

Resources with context.

Useful language resources need documentation: where the data comes from, what it covers, how it may be used and what its limits are.

We will list individual datasets, models and benchmarks here as they become available with that supporting information.

Public organisation

Buuni on GitHub

Our public organisation is buunilabs. Visit it for any repositories we make available, and check each repository’s own documentation and licence before using its contents.
