Dataset Card for HAREM

Dataset Summary

The HAREM is a Portuguese language corpus commonly used for Named Entity Recognition tasks. It includes about 93k words, from 129 different texts, from several genres, and language varieties. The split of this dataset version follows the division made by [1], where 7% HAREM documents are the validation set and the miniHAREM corpus (with about 65k words) is the test set. There are two versions of the dataset set, a version that has a total of 10 different named entity classes (Person, Organization, Location, Value, Date, Title, Thing, Event, Abstraction, and Other) and a "selective" version with only 5 classes (Person, Organization, Location, Value, and Date).

It's important to note that the original version of the HAREM dataset has 2 levels of NER details, namely "Category" and "Sub-type". The dataset version processed here ONLY USE the "Category" level of the original dataset.

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

{
  "id": "HAREM-871-07800",
  "ner_tags": [3, 0, 0, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4,
  ],
  "tokens": [
    "Abraço", "Página", "Principal", "ASSOCIAÇÃO", "DE", "APOIO", "A", "PESSOAS", "COM", "VIH", "/", "SIDA"
  ]
}

Data Fields

• id: id of the sample
• tokens: the tokens of the example text
• ner_tags: the NER tags of each token

The NER tags correspond to this list:

"O", "B-PESSOA", "I-PESSOA", "B-ORGANIZACAO", "I-ORGANIZACAO", "B-LOCAL", "I-LOCAL", "B-TEMPO", "I-TEMPO", "B-VALOR", "I-VALOR", "B-ABSTRACCAO", "I-ABSTRACCAO", "B-ACONTECIMENTO", "I-ACONTECIMENTO", "B-COISA", "I-COISA", "B-OBRA", "I-OBRA", "B-OUTRO", "I-OUTRO"

The NER tags have the same format as in the CoNLL shared task: a B denotes the first item of a phrase and an I any non-initial word.

Data Splits

The data is split into train, validation and test set for each of the two versions (default and selective). The split sizes are as follow:
