### Dataset Summary

 Text chunking consists of dividing a text in syntactically correlated parts of words. For example, the sentence
 He reckons the current account deficit will narrow to only # 1.8 billion in September . can be divided as follows:
[NP He ] [VP reckons ] [NP the current account deficit ] [VP will narrow ] [PP to ] [NP only # 1.8 billion ]
[PP in ] [NP September ] .

Text chunking is an intermediate step towards full parsing. It was the shared task for CoNLL-2000. Training and test
data for this task is available. This data consists of the same partitions of the Wall Street Journal corpus (WSJ)
as the widely used data for noun phrase chunking: sections 15-18 as training data (211727 tokens) and section 20 as
test data (47377 tokens). The annotation of the data has been derived from the WSJ corpus by a program written by
Sabine Buchholz from Tilburg University, The Netherlands.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

#### conll2000

- **Size of downloaded dataset files:** 3.32 MB
- **Size of the generated dataset:** 6.25 MB
- **Total amount of disk used:** 9.57 MB

An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
This example was too long and was cropped:

{
    "chunk_tags": [11, 13, 11, 12, 21, 22, 22, 22, 22, 11, 12, 12, 17, 11, 12, 13, 11, 0, 1, 13, 11, 11, 0, 21, 22, 22, 11, 12, 12, 13, 11, 12, 12, 11, 12, 12, 0],
    "id": "0",
    "pos_tags": [19, 14, 11, 19, 39, 27, 37, 32, 34, 11, 15, 19, 14, 19, 22, 14, 20, 5, 15, 14, 19, 19, 5, 34, 32, 34, 11, 15, 19, 14, 20, 9, 20, 24, 15, 22, 6],
    "tokens": "[\"Confidence\", \"in\", \"the\", \"pound\", \"is\", \"widely\", \"expected\", \"to\", \"take\", \"another\", \"sharp\", \"dive\", \"if\", \"trade\", \"figur..."
}
```

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

#### conll2000
- `id`: a `string` feature.
- `tokens`: a `list` of `string` features.
- `pos_tags`: a `list` of classification labels, with possible values including `''` (0), `#` (1), `$` (2), `(` (3), `)` (4).
- `chunk_tags`: a `list` of classification labels, with possible values including `O` (0), `B-ADJP` (1), `I-ADJP` (2), `B-ADVP` (3), `I-ADVP` (4).
