About

This repository contains the Hindi Named Entity Recognition dataset (HiNER) published at the Langauge Resources and Evaluation conference (LREC) in 2022.

Recent Updates

Version 0.0.5: HiNER initial release

Usage

You should have the 'datasets' packages installed to be able to use the :rocket: HuggingFace datasets repository. Please use the following command and install via pip:

    pip install datasets

To use the original dataset with all the tags, please use:

    from datasets import load_dataset
    hiner = load_dataset('cfilt/HiNER-original')

To use the collapsed dataset with only PER, LOC, and ORG tags, please use:

    from datasets import load_dataset
    hiner = load_dataset('cfilt/HiNER-collapsed')

However, the CoNLL format dataset files can also be found on this Git repository under the data folder. This dataset can be imported by executing:

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

HiNER was built on data extracted from various government websites handled by the Government of India which provide information in Hindi. This dataset was built for the task of Named Entity Recognition. The dataset was introduced to introduce new resources to the Hindi language that was under-served for Natural Language Processing.

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

HiNER was built on data extracted from various government websites handled by the Government of India which provide information in Hindi

Who are the source language producers?

Various Government of India webpages

Annotations

Annotation process

This dataset was manually annotated by a single annotator of a long span of time.

Who are the annotators?

Pallab Bhattacharjee

Personal and Sensitive Information

We ensured that there was no sensitive information present in the dataset. All the data points are curated from publicly available information.

Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

The purpose of this dataset is to provide a large Hindi Named Entity Recognition dataset. Since the information (data points) has been obtained from public resources, we do not think there is a negative social impact in releasing this data.

Discussion of Biases

Any biases contained in the data released by the Indian government are bound to be present in our data.

Other Known Limitations
