Subject: Announcing CreoleVal


We are proud to announce the release of CreoleVal - a collection of
benchmarks for 28 Creole languages. The collection of datasets span
tasks such as relation classification, machine comprehension, machine
translation, named entity recognition, and use cases such as language
modeling. We cover Haitian Creole, Bislama, Chavacano, Pitkern,
Singlish, Tok Pisin, Papiamento, and others.

We hope the NLP community will include this collection of datasets in
ongoing & future evaluations of methods directed at low-resource
languages. Not only that, we also hypothesise that CreoleVal will open
the door for controlled experimentation with transfer learning
methodology.

This resource has been long in the making, and was made possible by a
long list of collaborators.
