+ ### Link to Main Data Card
80
+
81
+ You can find the main data card on the [GEM Website](https://gem-benchmark.com/data_cards/TaTA).
82
+
83
+ ### Dataset Summary
84
+
85
+ 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 Yorùbá) and a zero-shot test language (Russian).
86
+
87
+ You can load the dataset via:
88
+ ```
89
+ import datasets
90
+ data = datasets.load_dataset('GEM/TaTA')
91
+ ```
92
+ The data loader can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GEM/TaTA).

254
+
255
+ #### Data Fields
256
+
257
+ <!-- info: List and describe the fields present in the dataset. -->
258
+ <!-- scope: telescope -->
259
+ - `example_id`: The ID of the example. Each ID (e.g., `AB20-ar-1`) consists of three parts: the document ID, the language ISO 639-1 code, and the index of the table within the document.
260
+ - `title`: The title of the table.
261
+ - `unit_of_measure`: A description of the numerical value of the data. E.g., percentage of households with clean water.
262
+ - `chart_type`: The kind of chart associated with the data. 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.
263
+ - `was_translated`: Whether the table was transcribed in the original language of the report or translated.
264
+ - `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.
265
+ - `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.
266
+ - `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).
267
+
268
+ #### Reason for Structure
269
+
270
+ <!-- info: How was the dataset structure determined? -->
271
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
272
+ The structure includes all available information for the infographics on which the dataset is based.
273
+
274
+ #### How were labels chosen?
275
+
276
+ <!-- info: How were the labels chosen? -->
277
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
278
+ Annotators looked through English text to identify sentences that describe an infographic. They then identified the corresponding location of the parallel non-English document. All sentences were extracted.
279
+
280
+ #### Example Instance
281
+
282
+ <!-- info: Provide a JSON formatted example of a typical instance in the dataset. -->

303
+
304
+ <!-- info: Describe and name the splits in the dataset if there are more than one. -->
305
+ <!-- scope: periscope -->
306
+ - `Train`: Training set, includes examples with 0 or more references.
307
+ - `Validation`: Validation set, includes examples with 3 or more references.
308
+ - `Test`: Test set, includes examples with 3 or more references.
309
+ - `Ru`: Russian zero-shot set. Includes English and Russian examples (Russian is not includes in any of the other splits).
310
+
311
+ #### Splitting Criteria
312
+
313
+ <!-- info: Describe any criteria for splitting the data, if used. If there are differences between the splits (e.g., if the training annotations are machine-generated and the dev and test ones are created by humans, or if different numbers of annotators contributed to each example), describe them here. -->
314
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
315
+ The same table across languages is always in the same split, i.e., if table X is in the test split in language A, it will also be in the test split in language B. In addition to filtering examples without transcribed table values, every example of the development and test splits has at least 3 references.
316
+ From the examples that fulfilled these criteria, 100 tables were sampled for both development and test for a total of 800 examples each. A manual review process excluded a few tables in each set, resulting in a training set of 6,962 tables, a development set of 752 tables, and a test set of 763 tables.
317
+
318
+
319
+ ####
320
+
321
+ <!-- info: What does an outlier of the dataset in terms of length/perplexity/embedding look like? -->
322
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
323
+ There are tables without references, without values, and others that are very large. The dataset is distributed as-is, but the paper describes multiple strategies to deal with data issues.

327
+ ## Dataset in GEM
328
+
329
+ ### Rationale for Inclusion in GEM
330
+
331
+ #### Why is the Dataset in GEM?
332
+
333
+ <!-- info: What does this dataset contribute toward better generation evaluation and why is it part of GEM? -->
334
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
335
+ There is no other multilingual data-to-text dataset that is parallel over languages. Moreover, over 70% of references in the dataset require reasoning and it is thus of very high quality and challenging for models.
336
+
337
+ #### Similar Datasets
338
+
339
+ <!-- info: Do other datasets for the high level task exist? -->
340
+ <!-- scope: telescope -->
341
+ yes
342
+
343
+ #### Unique Language Coverage
344
+
345
+ <!-- info: Does this dataset cover other languages than other datasets for the same task? -->
346
+ <!-- scope: periscope -->
347
+ yes
348
+
349
+ #### Difference from other GEM datasets
350
+
351
+ <!-- info: What else sets this dataset apart from other similar datasets in GEM? -->
352
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
353
+ More languages, parallel across languages, grounded in infographics, not centered on Western entities or source documents
354
+
355
+ #### Ability that the Dataset measures
356
+
357
+ <!-- info: What aspect of model ability can be measured with this dataset? -->
358
+ <!-- scope: periscope -->
359
+ reasoning, verbalization, content planning
360
+
361
+
362
+ ### GEM-Specific Curation
363
+
364
+ #### Modificatied for GEM?
365
+
366
+ <!-- info: Has the GEM version of the dataset been modified in any way (data, processing, splits) from the original curated data? -->
367
+ <!-- scope: telescope -->
368
+ no
369
+
370
+ #### Additional Splits?
371
+
372
+ <!-- info: Does GEM provide additional splits to the dataset? -->
373
+ <!-- scope: telescope -->

605
+
606
+ <!-- info: Does this dataset address the needs of communities that are traditionally underserved in language technology, and particularly language generation technology? Communities may be underserved for exemple because their language, language variety, or social or geographical context is underepresented in NLP and NLG resources (datasets and models). -->

633
+ ## Considerations for Using the Data
634
+
635
+ ### PII Risks and Liability
636
+
637
+
638
+
639
+ ### Licenses
640
+
641
+ #### Copyright Restrictions on the Dataset
642
+
643
+ <!-- info: Based on your answers in the Intended Use part of the Data Overview Section, which of the following best describe the copyright and licensing status of the dataset? -->
644
+ <!-- scope: periscope -->
645
+ `open license - commercial use allowed`
646
+
647
+ #### Copyright Restrictions on the Language Data
648
+
649
+ <!-- info: Based on your answers in the Language part of the Data Curation Section, which of the following best describe the copyright and licensing status of the underlying language data? -->
650
+ <!-- scope: periscope -->
651
+ `open license - commercial use allowed`
652
+
653
+
654
+ ### Known Technical Limitations
655
+
656
+ #### Technical Limitations
657
+
658
+ <!-- info: Describe any known technical limitations, such as spurrious correlations, train/test overlap, annotation biases, or mis-annotations, and cite the works that first identified these limitations when possible. -->
659
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
660
+ While tables were transcribed in the available languages, the majority of the tables were published in English as the first language. Professional translators were used to translate the data, which makes it plausible that some translationese exists in the data. Moreover, it was unavoidable to collect reference sentences that are only partially entailed by the source tables.
661
+
662
+ #### Unsuited Applications
663
+
664
+ <!-- info: When using a model trained on this dataset in a setting where users or the public may interact with its predictions, what are some pitfalls to look out for? In particular, describe some applications of the general task featured in this dataset that its curation or properties make it less suitable for. -->
665
+ <!-- scope: microscope -->
666
+ The domain of health reports includes potentially sensitive topics relating to reproduction, violence, sickness, and death. Perceived negative values could be used to amplify stereotypes about people from the respective regions or countries. The intended academic use of this dataset is to develop and evaluate models that neutrally report the content of these tables but not use the outputs to make value judgments, and these applications are thus discouraged.

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., |.
