### Dataset Summary

This script is for loading the Few-NERD dataset from https://ningding97.github.io/fewnerd/. 

Few-NERD is a large-scale, fine-grained manually annotated named entity recognition dataset, which contains 8 coarse-grained types, 66 fine-grained types, 188,200 sentences, 491,711 entities, and 4,601,223 tokens. Three benchmark tasks are built, one is supervised (Few-NERD (SUP)) and the other two are few-shot (Few-NERD (INTRA) and Few-NERD (INTER)).

NER tags use the `IO` tagging scheme. The original data uses a 2-column CoNLL-style format, with empty lines to separate sentences. DOCSTART information is not provided since the sentences are randomly ordered.

For more details see https://ningding97.github.io/fewnerd/ and https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.248/.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 
  - `super`: 14.6 MB
  - `intra`: 11.4 MB
  - `inter`: 11.5 MB

- **Size of the generated dataset:**
  - `super`: 116.9 MB
  - `intra`: 106.2 MB
  - `inter`: 106.2 MB

- **Total amount of disk used:** 366.8 MB


An example of 'train' looks as follows.

```json
{
    'id': '1', 
    'tokens': ['It', 'starred', 'Hicks', "'s", 'wife', ',', 'Ellaline', 'Terriss', 'and', 'Edmund', 'Payne', '.'], 
    'ner_tags': [0, 0, 7, 0, 0, 0, 7, 7, 0, 7, 7, 0], 
    'fine_ner_tags': [0, 0, 51, 0, 0, 0, 50, 50, 0, 50, 50, 0]
}
```



### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

- `id`: a `string` feature.
- `tokens`: a `list` of `string` features.
- `ner_tags`: a `list` of classification labels, with possible values including `O` (0), `art` (1), `building` (2), `event` (3), `location` (4), `organization` (5), `other`(6), `person` (7), `product` (8)
- `fine_ner_tags`: a `list` of fine-grained  classification labels, with possible values including `O` (0), `art-broadcastprogram` (1), `art-film` (2), ...

### Data Splits

| Task      | Train  |  Dev  | Test |
| -----     | ------ | ----- | ---- |
| SUP       | 131767 | 18824 | 37648 |
| INTRA     | 99519  | 19358 | 44059 |
| INTER     | 130112 | 18817 | 14007 |
