SemRel2024: A Collection of Semantic Textual Relatedness Datasets for 13 Languages (2024.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: SemRel datasets are annotated by native speakers across 13 languages . they are used to characterise the relationship between two units of text .
Approach: They propose to use a semantic relatedness dataset to measure the degree of semantic textual relatedness between sentences in Afrikaans, Algerian Arabic, Amharic, English, Hausa, Hindi, Indonesian, Kinyarwanda, Marathi, Moroccan Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, Spanish, and Telugu.
Outcome: The proposed datasets are annotated by native speakers across 13 languages and represent the semantic relatedness of 13 languages.

Challenge: Africa has the highest linguistic diversity among all continents.
Approach: They introduce a sentiment analysis benchmark that contains >110,000 tweets in 14 African languages . they describe the data collection methodology, annotation process, and challenges .
Outcome: The proposed dataset contains >110,000 tweets in 14 African languages . the tweets were annotated by native speakers and used in the shared task .
AfriMTE and AfriCOMET: Enhancing COMET to Embrace Under-resourced African Languages (2024.naacl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent advances in machine translation (MT) have focused on scaling multilingual machine translation models and evaluation data to hundreds of languages, including multiple under-resourced languages.
Approach: They propose to use n-gram matching metrics to measure progress in multilingual machine translation to 13 typologically diverse African languages to create high-quality human evaluation data with simplified MQM guidelines.
Outcome: The proposed metrics have a higher correlation with human judgments than n-gram matching metrics such as BLEU and METEOR.
Hausa Visual Genome: A Dataset for Multi-Modal English to Hausa Machine Translation (2022.lrec-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Hausa is considered a low resource language in natural language processing due to lack of resources.
Approach: They propose a dataset that contains the description of an image in Hausa and its equivalent in English.
Outcome: The Hausa Visual Genome is the first dataset of its kind . it can be used for Hausa-English machine translation, multi-modal research, image description .
