# SWAHILI-NER-DATASET

Swahili NER dataset is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) dataset generated from <https://huggingface.co/datasets/swahili> using back-translation techniques.

In case you're interested to explore more about the script used to generate this dataset, please have a look into [Augumented Swahili Data](https://github.com/Neurotech-HQ/Augumented-swahili-ner-data).

This data has been cleaned using a couple of techniques and is ready for training a Spacy NER model without any modifications, with this data we were able to train a [swahili-spacy-ner](https://share.streamlit.io/neurotech-hq/swahili-ner-spacy/main/app.py).

# EXPLORING DATA

Here is an example of how the dataset has been structured;

```json
[
    [
        "Alisema kwamba wengi wa watoto hao wa UNCA walikuwa wanawake waliodai kwamba benki hiyo ilikuwa ikitoa mkopo kwa UNCKKKau na UNK",
        {
            "entities": [
                [
                    125,
                    128,
                    "ORG"
                ]
            ]
        }
    ],
    [
        "Katika mikoa ya kati mvua hutazamiwa kunyesha na dodoma kutoka maeneo ya tatu na ya nne ya novemba mwaka huu na kupimwa kwa wastani",
        {
            "entities": [
                [
                    84,
                    87,
                    "ORDINAL"
                ]
            ]
