## Dataset Card for MultiNERD dataset

## Dataset Description

- **Summary:** Training data for fine-grained NER in 10 languages.
- **Repository:** [https://github.com/Babelscape/multinerd](https://github.com/Babelscape/multinerd)
- **Paper:** [https://aclanthology.org/multinerd](https://aclanthology.org/2022.findings-naacl.60/)

## Description

- **Summary:** In a nutshell, MultiNERD is the first **language-agnostic** methodology for automatically creating **multilingual, multi-genre and fine-grained annotations** for **Named Entity Recognition** and **Entity Disambiguation**. Specifically, it can be seen an extension of the combination of two prior works from our research group that are [WikiNEuRal](https://www.github.com/Babelscape/wikineural), from which we took inspiration for the state-of-the-art silver-data creation methodology, and [NER4EL](https://www.github.com/Babelscape/NER4EL), from which we took the fine-grained classes and inspiration for the entity linking part. The produced dataset covers: **10 languages** (Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish), **15 NER categories** (Person (PER), Location (LOC), Organization (ORG}), Animal (ANIM), Biological entity (BIO), Celestial Body (CEL), Disease (DIS), Event (EVE), Food (FOOD), Instrument (INST), Media (MEDIA), Plant (PLANT), Mythological entity (MYTH), Time (TIME) and Vehicle (VEHI)), and **2 textual genres** ([Wikipedia](https://www.wikipedia.org/) and [WikiNews](https://www.wikinews.org/));

    abstract = "Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the task of identifying named entities in texts and classifying them through specific semantic categories, a process which is crucial for a wide range of NLP applications. Current datasets for NER focus mainly on coarse-grained entity types, tend to consider a single textual genre and to cover a narrow set of languages, thus limiting the general applicability of NER systems.In this work, we design a new methodology for automatically producing NER annotations, and address the aforementioned limitations by introducing a novel dataset that covers 10 languages, 15 NER categories and 2 textual genres.We also introduce a manually-annotated test set, and extensively evaluate the quality of our novel dataset on both this new test set and standard benchmarks for NER.In addition, in our dataset, we include: i) disambiguation information to enable the development of multilingual entity linking systems, and ii) image URLs to encourage the creation of multimodal systems.We release our dataset at https://github.com/Babelscape/multinerd.",
