WikiNER-fr-gold: A Gold-Standard NER Corpus

Published on Oct 29
· Submitted by stefan-it on Nov 4

Abstract

We address in this article the the quality of the WikiNER corpus, a multilingual Named Entity Recognition corpus, and provide a consolidated version of it. The annotation of WikiNER was produced in a semi-supervised manner i.e. no manual verification has been carried out a posteriori. Such corpus is called silver-standard. In this paper we propose WikiNER-fr-gold which is a revised version of the French proportion of WikiNER. Our corpus consists of randomly sampled 20% of the original French sub-corpus (26,818 sentences with 700k tokens). We start by summarizing the entity types included in each category in order to define an annotation guideline, and then we proceed to revise the corpus. Finally we present an analysis of errors and inconsistency observed in the WikiNER-fr corpus, and we discuss potential future work directions.

Oh, the annotators must hate this interface. Normally, you can just use the label and annotate start and end of a span - this can be automatically converted into IOBES later.

Hi @danrun , @becnic and @pfmarteau ,

many thanks for the great work of fixing the French part of WikiNER! I would like to integrate that new gold standard dataset into our Flair library and would like to know if you plan to release the dataset :)

Many thanks in advance!

I submitted the paper to Daily Papers on HF: the paper presents a corrected French part (20%) of the WikiNER dataset, which makes this dataset a great new resource for named entity recognition.
