title: TweetNERD - End to End Entity Linking Benchmark for Tweets

description: TweetNERD - End to End Entity Linking Benchmark for Tweets Paper - Video - Neurips Page This is the dataset described in the paper <strong>TweetNERD - End to End Entity Linking Benchmark for Tweets</strong> (accepted to Thirty-sixth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (Neurips) Datasets and Benchmarks Track). Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation (NERD) systems are foundational for information retrieval, question answering, event detection, and other natural language processing (NLP) applications. We introduce TweetNERD, a dataset of 340K+ Tweets across 2010-2021, for benchmarking NERD systems on Tweets. This is the largest and most temporally diverse open sourced dataset benchmark for NERD on Tweets and can be used to facilitate research in this area. <strong>UPDATE: The new version contains an additional ~125K Tweets leading to a total dataset size of ~465K Tweets.</strong> TweetNERD dataset is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) LICENSE. The license only applies to the data files present in this dataset. See <strong>Data usage policy</strong> below. Check out more details at https://github.com/twitter-research/TweetNERD <strong>Usage</strong> We provide the dataset split across the following tab seperated files: <strong>OOD.public.tsv</strong>: OOD split of the data in the paper. <strong>Academic.public.tsv</strong>: Academic split of the data described in the paper. <code>part_*.public.tsv</code>: Remaining data split into parts in no particular order. Each file is tab separated and has has the following format: tweet_id phrase start end entityId score 22 twttr 20 25 Q918 3 21 twttr 20 25 Q918 3 1457198399032287235 Diwali 30 38 Q10244 3 1232456079247736833 NO_PHRASE -1 -1 NO_ENTITY -1 For tweets which don't have any entity, their column values for <code>phrase, start, end, entityId, score</code> are set <code>NO_PHRASE, -1, -1, NO_ENTITY, -1</code> respectively. Description of file columns is as follows: Column Type Missing Value Description tweet_id string ID of the Tweet phrase string NO_PHRASE entity phrase start int -1 start offset of the phrase in text using <code>UTF-16BE</code> encoding end int -1 end offset of the phrase in the text using <code>UTF-16BE</code> encoding entityId string NO_ENTITY Entity ID. If not missing can be NOT FOUND, AMBIGUOUS, or Wikidata ID of format Q{numbers}, e.g. Q918 score int -1 Number of annotators who agreed on the phrase, start, end, entityId information In order to use the dataset you need to utilize the <code>tweet_id</code> column and get the Tweet text using the Twitter API (See <strong>Data usage policy</strong> section below).
