Multicultural intent-classification dataset covering banking, home, kitchen & dining, travel and utility. 3 200 utterances per African language (2 240 / 320 / 640 train/dev/test) + 1 779 English. From ‘INJONGO: A Multicultural Intent Detection and Slot-filling Dataset for 16 African Languages’ (Yu et al., 2025).

Dataset Preparation in MTEB
This repository is a staging copy of masakhane/InjongoIntent for MTEB. The intended long-term canonical benchmark copy is mteb/InjongoIntent.
Transformations
- Harmonized text columns across configs:
text/utterance/sentence->text - Harmonized label columns across configs:
label/intent/labels->label - Preserved the MTEB-facing subset names, including
gazandswh, while sourcing from the original Hub configs - Applied dataset cleaning before upload to reduce duplicates and train-test leakage in the benchmark copy
Label Schema
- Integer intent labels from the source dataset are preserved after harmonization
Splits and subsets
- 17 language-specific configs with cleaned train/dev-or-validation/test style splits
- Language coverage matches the benchmark task: 16 African languages plus English
How to evaluate on this task
You can evaluate an embedding model on this dataset using the following code:
import mteb
task = mteb.get_task("InjongoIntent")
evaluator = mteb.MTEB([task])
model = mteb.get_model(YOUR_MODEL)
evaluator.run(model)
To learn more about how to run models on mteb task check out the GitHub repository.
Citation
If you use this dataset, please cite the dataset as well as mteb, as this dataset likely includes additional processing as a part of the MMTEB Contribution.
