IndicNLG Benchmark: Multilingual Datasets for Diverse NLG Tasks in Indic Languages. (arXiv:2203.05437v2 [cs.CL] UPDATED)

Natural Language Generation (NLG) for non-English languages is hampered by
the scarcity of datasets in these languages. In this paper, we present the
IndicNLG Benchmark, a collection of datasets for benchmarking NLG for 11 Indic
languages. We focus on five diverse tasks, namely, biography generation using
Wikipedia infoboxes, news headline generation, sentence summarization,
paraphrase generation and, question generation. We describe the created
datasets and use them to benchmark the performance of several monolingual and
multilingual baselines that leverage pre-trained sequence-to-sequence …
