Abstract

In this work, we present Yor\`ub\'a automatic diacritization (YAD) benchmark dataset for evaluating Yor\`ub\'a diacritization systems. In addition, we pre-train text-to-text transformer, T5 model for Yor\`ub\'a and showed that this model outperform several multilingually trained T5 models. Lastly, we showed that more data and larger models are better at diacritization for Yor\`ub\'a
