# SwissNER
A multilingual test set for named entity recognition (NER) on Swiss news articles.
## Description
SwissNER is a dataset for named entity recognition based on manually annotated news articles in Swiss Standard German, French, Italian, and Romansh Grischun.
We have manually annotated a selection of articles that have been published in February 2023 in the categories "Switzerland" or "Regional" on the following online news portals:
- Swiss Standard German: [srf.ch](https://www.srf.ch/)
- French: [rts.ch](https://www.rts.ch/)
- Italian: [rsi.ch](https://www.rsi.ch/)
- Romansh Grischun: [rtr.ch](https://www.rtr.ch/)
For each article we extracted the first two paragraphs after the lead paragraph.
We followed the guidelines of the CoNLL-2002 and 2003 shared tasks and annotated the names of persons, organizations, locations and miscellaneous entities.
The annotation was performed by a single annotator.
When using this dataset, please consider citing our paper, ["SwissBERT: The Multilingual Language Model for Switzerland"](https://aclanthology.org/2023.swisstext-1.6/) (SwissText 2023).
