Abstract: Minority languages in China, such as Tibetan, Uyghur, and Traditional
Mongolian, face significant challenges due to their unique writing systems,
which differ from international standards. This discrepancy has led to a severe
lack of relevant corpora, particularly for supervised tasks like headline
generation. To address this gap, we introduce a novel dataset, Chinese Minority
Headline Generation (CMHG), which includes 100,000 entries for Tibetan, and
50,000 entries each for Uyghur and Mongolian, specifically curated for headline
generation tasks. Additionally, we propose a high-quality test set annotated by
native speakers, designed to serve as a benchmark for future research in this
domain. We hope this dataset will become a valuable resource for advancing
headline generation in Chinese minority languages and contribute to the
development of related benchmarks.
