The duration of the program is 19 weeks. In the first phase, participants will deepen their coding knowledge while understanding ML, NLP and deep learning concepts through a selection of courses. Then, they will work in teams to apply this knowledge in developing an Arabic Diacritizer. The later phases of the program will include using the diacritizer for building a speech synthesis system and various applications such as audiobooks and screen readers.
