Query: \`It\`ak\'ur\`oso: Exploiting Cross-Lingual Transferability for Natural
  Language Generation of Dialogues in Low-Resource, African Languages   We investigate the possibility of cross-lingual transfer from a
state-of-the-art (SoTA) deep monolingual model (DialoGPT) to 6 African
languages and compare with 2 baselines (BlenderBot 90M, another SoTA, and a
simple Seq2Seq). The languages are Swahili, Wolof, Hausa, Nigerian Pidgin
English, Kinyarwanda & Yor\`ub\'a. Generation of dialogues is known to be a
challenging task for many reasons. It becomes more challenging for African
languages which are low-resource in terms of data. Therefore, we translate a
small portion of the English multi-domain MultiWOZ dataset for each target
language. Besides intrinsic evaluation (i.e. perplexity), we conduct human
evaluation of single-turn conversations by using majority votes and measure
inter-annotator agreement (IAA). The results show that the hypothesis that deep
monolingual models learn some abstractions that generalise across languages
holds. We observe human-like conversations in 5 out of the 6 languages. It,
however, applies to different degrees in different languages, which is
expected. The language with the most transferable properties is the Nigerian
Pidgin English, with a human-likeness score of 78.1%, of which 34.4% are
unanimous. The main contributions of this paper include the representation
(through the provision of high-quality dialogue data) of under-represented
African languages and demonstrating the cross-lingual transferability
hypothesis for dialogue systems. We also provide the datasets and host the
model checkpoints/demos on the HuggingFace hub for public access.
