Hausa Visual Genome 1.0

Data --- Hausa Visual Genome 1.0, a multimodal dataset consisting of text and images suitable for English-to-Hausa multimodal machine translation tasks and multimodal research. We follow the same selection of short English segments (captions) and the associated images from Visual Genome as the dataset Hindi Visual Genome 1.1 has. We automatically translated the English captions to Hausa and manually post-edited, taking the associated images into account. The training set contains 29K segments. Further 1K and 1.6K segments are provided in development and test sets, respectively, which follow the same (random) sampling from the original Hindi Visual Genome. Additionally, a challenge test set of 1400 segments is available for the multi-modal task. This challenge test set was created in Hindi Visual Genome by searching for (particularly) ambiguous English words based on the embedding similarity and manually selecting those where the image helps to resolve the ambiguity. Dataset Formats --- The multimodal dataset contains both text and images. The text parts of the dataset (train and test sets) are in simple tab-delimited plain text files. All the text files have seven columns as follows: Column1 - image_id Column2 - X Column3 - Y Column4 - Width Column5 - Height Column6 - English Text Column7 - Hausa Text The image part contains the full images with the corresponding image_id as the file name. The X, Y, Width, and Height columns indicate the rectangular region in the image described by the caption. Data Statistics --- The statistics of the current release are given below.
