### Dataset Summary

The Classical Arabic Named Entity Recognition corpus is a new corpus of tagged data that can be useful for handling the issues in recognition of Arabic named entities.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

- Named Entity Recognition

### Languages

Classical Arabic

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

An example from the dataset:
```
{'ner_tag': 1, 'token': 'الجامع'}
```
Where 1 stands for "Book"

### Data Fields

- `id`: id of the sample
 - `token`: the tokens of the example text
 - `ner_tag`: the NER tags of each token

The NER tags correspond to this list:
 ```
"Allah",
"Book",
"Clan",
"Crime",
"Date",
"Day",
"Hell",
"Loc",
"Meas",
"Mon",
"Month",
"NatOb",
"Number",
"O",
"Org",
"Para",
"Pers",
"Prophet",
"Rlig",
"Sect",
"Time"
 ```
