SEACrowd/wikiann

The wikiann dataset contains NER tags with labels from O (0), B-PER (1), I-PER (2), B-ORG (3), I-ORG (4), B-LOC (5), I-LOC (6). The Indonesian subset is used. WikiANN (sometimes called PAN-X) is a multilingual named entity recognition dataset consisting of Wikipedia articles annotated with LOC (location), PER (person), and ORG (organisation) tags in the IOB2 format. This version corresponds to the balanced train, dev, and test splits of Rahimi et al. (2019), and uses the following subsets from the original WikiANN corpus

Dataset Usage

Using datasets library

from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/wikiann", trust_remote_code=True)

Using seacrowd library

# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("wikiann", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("wikiann"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")

More details on how to load the seacrowd library can be found here.

    abstract = "The ambitious goal of this work is to develop a cross-lingual name tagging and linking framework
    for 282 languages that exist in Wikipedia. Given a document in any of these languages, our framework is able
    to identify name mentions, assign a coarse-grained or fine-grained type to each mention, and link it to
    an English Knowledge Base (KB) if it is linkable. We achieve this goal by performing a series of
    new KB mining methods: generating {``}silver-standard{''} annotations by
    transferring annotations from English to other languages through cross-lingual links and KB properties,
    refining annotations through self-training and topic selection,
    deriving language-specific morphology features from anchor links, and mining word translation pairs from
    cross-lingual links. Both name tagging and linking results for 282 languages are promising
    on Wikipedia data and on-Wikipedia data.",
