_DESCRIPTION = """\
MasakhaNER is the first large publicly available high-quality dataset for named entity recognition (NER) in ten African languages.

Named entities are phrases that contain the names of persons, organizations, locations, times and quantities.

Example:
[PER Wolff] , currently a journalist in [LOC Argentina] , played with [PER Del Bosque] in the final years of the seventies in [ORG Real Madrid] .
MasakhaNER is a named entity dataset consisting of PER, ORG, LOC, and DATE entities annotated by Masakhane for ten African languages:
- Amharic
- Hausa
- Igbo
- Kinyarwanda
- Luganda
- Luo
- Nigerian-Pidgin
- Swahili
- Wolof
- Yoruba

The train/validation/test sets are available for all the ten languages.
