"summary": "Existing data-to-text generation datasets are mostly limited to English. Table-to-Text in African languages (TaTA) addresses this lack of data as the first large multilingual table-to-text dataset with a focus on African languages. TaTA was created by transcribing figures and accompanying text in bilingual reports by the Demographic and Health Surveys Program, followed by professional translation to make the dataset fully parallel. TaTA includes 8,700 examples in nine languages including four African languages (Hausa, Igbo, Swahili, and Yor\u00f9b\u00e1) and a zero-shot test language (Russian). \n\nYou can load the dataset via:\n```\nimport datasets\ndata = datasets.load_dataset('GEM/TaTA')\n```\nThe data loader can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GEM/TaTA).",

We consider the following (normalized) types: horizontal bar chart, map chart, pie graph, tables, line chart, pie chart, vertical chart type, line graph, vertical bar chart, and other.\n- `was_translated`: Whether the table was transcribed in the original language of the report or translated.\n- `table_data`: The table content is a JSON-encoded string of a two-dimensional list, organized by row, from left to right, starting from the top of the table. Number of items varies per table. Empty cells are given as empty string values in the corresponding table cell.\n- `table_text`: The sentences forming the description of each table are encoded as a JSON object. In the case of more than one sentence, these are separated by commas. Number of items varies per table.\n- `linearized_input`: A single string that contains the table content separated by vertical bars, i.e., |. Including title, unit of measurement, and the content of each cell including row and column headers in between brackets, i.e., (Medium Empowerment, Mali, 17.9).",
