### Data Fields

Each row consists of the following fields:

* `id`: The sentence id
* `tokens`: An ordered list of tokens from the full text
* `ner_tags`: Named entity recognition tags for each token
* `nested_ner_tags`: Nested named entity recognition tags for each token

Note that by design, the length of `tokens`, `ner_tags`, and `nested_ner_tags` will always be identical.

`ner_tags` and `nested_ner_tags` correspond to the list below:

```
[ "O", "B-DATE", "B-EVENT", "B-LOC", "B-ORG", "B-PER", "B-PRO", "I-DATE", "I-EVENT", "I-LOC", "I-ORG", "I-PER", "I-PRO" ]
```

IOB2 labeling scheme is used.
