AfriHG: News Headline Generation for African Languages

Abstract

This paper introduces AfriHG, an extended multi-lingual corpus compiled from XL-Sum and Masakhanews focusing on 16 languages widely spoken by Africans across 9 language families. We experimented with two seq-2-seq models. We also evaluated our dataset with a massively multilingual instruction-tuned LLM and benchmarked our results in the domain of abstractive summarization for News headline generation.
