威尔士语是威尔士的官方语言，估计有 884,300 人使用威尔士语（占威尔士人口的 29.2%）。尽管自上次（2011 年）人口普查以来，威尔士语的使用人数有所增加，但威尔士语仍然是一种少数族裔语言，正在受到威尔士政府和相关利益攸关方的振兴和推广。作为提高威尔士数字技术可用性的努力的一部分，本文介绍了第一个威尔士摘要数据集，我们免费提供该数据集用于研究目的，以帮助推进威尔士摘要工作。该数据集是由威尔士语使用者通过手动总结威尔士维基百科文章而创建的。此外，本文还讨论了威尔士语不同摘要系统的实施和评估。摘要系统和结果将作为其他小语种语境中摘要器开发的基准。
Welsh is an official language in Wales and is spoken by an estimated 884,300 people (29.2% of the population of Wales). Despite this status and estimated increase in speaker numbers since the last (2011) census, Welsh remains a minority language undergoing revitalisation and promotion by Welsh Government and relevant stakeholders. As part of the effort to increase the availability of Welsh digital technology, this paper introduces the first Welsh summarisation dataset, which we provide freely for research purposes to help advance the work on Welsh summarisation. The dataset was created by Welsh speakers through manually summarising Welsh Wikipedia articles. In addition, the paper discusses the implementation and evaluation of different summarisation systems for Welsh. The summarisation systems and results will serve as benchmarks for the development of summarisers in other minority language contexts.
