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.
