Dataset Summary

 This is a cross-lingual knowledge base and question answering dataset for four low-resource South African languages: isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sepedi, and SeSotho. The dataset includes:

1. Parallel text corpora for alignment
2. Projected knowledge bases from ConceptNet and DBpedia
3. Verbalized Triples
4. Translated question-answer pairs

The dataset was created using LeNS-Align, a novel cross-lingual mapping technique that combines lexical alignment, named entity recognition, and semantic alignment to project knowledge from English to low-resource languages.

- isiZulu (zul)
- isiXhosa (xho)
- Sepedi (nso)
