# 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



Language	WikiAnn	ISO 639-3

Indonesian	id	ind

Javanese	jv	jav

Minangkabau	min	min

Sundanese	su	sun

Acehnese	ace	ace

Malay	ms	mly

Banyumasan	map-bms	map-bms

## Dataset Usage

Run `pip install nusacrowd` before loading the dataset through HuggingFace's `load_dataset`.

    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.",
