| ### Dataset Summary | |
| RONEC, at version 2.0, holds 12330 sentences with over 0.5M tokens, annotated with 15 classes, to a total of 80.283 distinctly annotated entities. | |

| ### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards | |
| The corpus is meant to train Named Entity Recognition models for the Romanian language. | |
| Please see the leaderboard here : [https://lirobenchmark.github.io/](https://lirobenchmark.github.io/) | |
| ### Languages | |
| RONEC is in Romanian (`ro`) | |
| ## Dataset Structure | |
| ### Data Instances | |
| The dataset is a list of instances. For example, an instance looks like: | |
| ```json | |
| { | |
| "id": 10454, | |
| "tokens": ["Pentru", "a", "vizita", "locația", "care", "va", "fi", "pusă", "la", "dispoziția", "reprezentanților", "consiliilor", "județene", ",", "o", "delegație", "a", "U.N.C.J.R.", ",", "din", "care", "a", "făcut", "parte", "și", "dl", "Constantin", "Ostaficiuc", ",", "președintele", "C.J.T.", ",", "a", "fost", "prezentă", "la", "Bruxelles", ",", "între", "1-3", "martie", "."], | |
| "ner_tags": ["O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "B-PERSON", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "B-ORG", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "B-PERSON", "I-PERSON", "I-PERSON", "I-PERSON", "I-PERSON", "B-ORG", "O", "O", "O", "O", "O", "B-GPE", "O", "B-PERIOD", "I-PERIOD", "I-PERIOD", "O"], | |
| "ner_ids": [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 19, 20, 20, 0], | |
| "space_after": [true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, false, true, true, true, true, false, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, false, true, true, false, true, true, true, true, true, false, true, true, true, false, false] | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### Data Fields | |
| The fields of each examples are: | |
| - ``tokens`` are the words of the sentence. | |
| - ``ner_tags`` are the string tags assigned to each token, following the BIO2 format. For example, the span ``"între", "1-3", "martie"`` has three tokens, but is a single class ``PERIOD``, marked as ``"B-PERIOD", "I-PERIOD", "I-PERIOD"``. | |
| - ``ner_ids`` are the integer encoding of each tag, to be compatible with the standard and to be quickly used for model training. Note that each ``B``-starting tag is odd, and each ``I``-starting tag is even. | |
| - ``space_after`` is used to help if there is a need to detokenize the dataset. A ``true`` value means that there is a space after the token on that respective position. | |
| ### Data Splits | |
| The dataset is split in train: 9000 sentences, dev: 1330 sentence and test: 2000 sentences. | |
| ## Dataset Creation | |
| ### Curation Rationale | |
| [Needs More Information] | |
| ### Source Data | |
| *The corpus data source represents sentences that are free of copyright, taken from older datasets like the freely available SEETimes and more recent datasources like the Romanian Wikipedia or the Common Crawl.* | |
| #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization | |
| [Needs More Information] | |
| #### Who are the source language producers? | |
| [Needs More Information] | |
| ### Annotations | |
| The corpus was annotated with the following classes: | |
| 1. PERSON - proper nouns, including common nouns or pronouns if they refer to a person. (e.g. 'sister') | |
| 2. GPE - geo political entity, like a city or a country; has to have a governance form | |
| 3. LOC - location, like a sea, continent, region, road, address, etc. | |
| 4. ORG - organization | |
| 5. LANGUAGE - language (e.g. Romanian, French, etc.) | |
| 6. NAT_REL_POL - national, religious or political organizations | |
| 7. DATETIME - a time and date in any format, including references to time (e.g. 'yesterday') | |
| 8. PERIOD - a period that is precisely bounded by two date times | |
| 9. QUANTITY - a quantity that is not numerical; it has a unit of measure | |
| 10. MONEY - a monetary value, numeric or otherwise | |
| 11. NUMERIC - a simple numeric value, represented as digits or words | |
| 12. ORDINAL - an ordinal value like 'first', 'third', etc. | |
| 13. FACILITY - a named place that is easily recognizable | |
| 14. WORK_OF_ART - a work of art like a named TV show, painting, etc. | |
| 15. EVENT - a named recognizable or periodic major event | |
| #### Annotation process | |
| The corpus was annotated by 3 language experts, and was cross-checked for annotation consistency. The annotation took several months to complete, but the result is a high quality dataset. | |
| #### Who are the annotators? | |
| Stefan Dumitrescu (lead). | |
| ### Personal and Sensitive Information | |
| All the source data is already freely downloadable and usable online, so there are no privacy concerns. | |
