East Africa Culturally Anchored Prompts for Image Generation

Dataset Description

This dataset was created as part of an evaluation project. It contains 1129 prompts covering 10 categories (performance & art; food & cuisine; sports; social practices; arts & craft; architecture; clothing & fashion; education and learning; city scenes; music) and 4 countries (Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda)

Funded by [optional]: Sama
Language(s) (NLP): English and Swahili
License: MIT

Uses

This dataset can be used to test different image generation or video generation models.

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains prompts and their associated country and category. [More Information Needed]

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This was done as part of an exploratory project where we wanted to involve data enrichment workers in an annotation initiative from start to finish, and evaluate how well different image generation models are performing with very specific and culturally anchored references.

Source Data

The prompts were all written by humans

Data Collection and Processing

Our team at Sama worked on this data over the course of 2 months. The team was employed full time and participated in defining the dataset coverage and categories. The team selected 4 countries they felt comfortable with (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda) and refined the different categories used. They

Annotations [optional]

Annotation process

The annotation process involved data enrichment workers from start to finish. They were briefed on the project and had time to add their preferences in terms of how to approach the data collection. They then would add their prompts on a shared google sheets. They had a question log to send back questions to our machine learning team if anything was unclear. No time constraints or limits were imposed to the team - they had a target of 100 prompts per category.

[More Information Needed]

Who are the annotators?

The team leading the annotation process was composed of Mary Akol, Renee Oluoch and Ronal Mwaka. This dataset wouldn't have been possible without the data enrichment experts that participated and co-create with us: Albert Simba, Beatrice Irungu, Cynthia Wanza, Felix Ochieng, Yvonne Oloo. [More Information Needed]

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

This dataset covers 4 countries in East Africa. It doesn't represent the entire landscape of East African culture and situations. The dataset contains hybrid sentences that sometime have both english and swahili, and this can cause image generation models to not respond well. From our experimentation, some models were not generating images when too many Swahili words or East Africa specific names were used. [More Information Needed]
