- **Point of Contact:** 

### Dataset Summary

The Hausa Visual Genome (HaVG) dataset contains the description of an image or a section within the image in Hausa and its equivalent in English. The dataset was prepared by automatically translating the English description of the images in the Hindi Visual Genome (HVG). The synthetic Hausa data was then carefully post-edited, taking into cognizance the respective images. The data is made of 32,923 images and their descriptions that are divided into training, development, test, and challenge test set. The Hausa Visual Genome is the first dataset of its kind and can be used for Hausa-English machine translation, multi-modal research, image description, among various other natural language processing and generation tasks.

### Supported Tasks

- Translation
- Image-to-Text
- Text-to-Image

### Languages

- Hausa
- English

## Dataset Structure

### Data Fields

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

### Data Splits

| Dataset | Segments | English Words | Hausa Words |
| -------- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Train | 28,930 | 143,106 | 140,981 |
| Dev | 998 | 4922 | 4857 |
| Test | 1595 | 7853 | 7736 |
| Challenge Test | 1400 | 8186 | 8752 |
| Total | 32,923 | 164067 | 162326 |

The word counts are approximate, prior to tokenization.

## Dataset Creation

### Source Data

The source data was obtained from the Hindi Visual Genome dataset, a subset of the Visual Genome data.

### Annotation process

The translations were obtained using a web application that was developed specifically for this task.

### Who are the annotators?

The dataset was created by professional translators at HausaNLP and Bayero University Kano.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

The dataset do not contain any personal or sensitive information.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset

HaVG will enable the creation of more qualitative models for natural language applications in Hausa language.
