### Dataset Summary
The shared task of CoNLL-2003 concerns language-independent named entity recognition. We will concentrate on
four types of named entities: persons, locations, organizations and names of miscellaneous entities that do
not belong to the previous three groups.
The CoNLL-2003 shared task data files contain four columns separated by a single space. Each word has been put on
a separate line and there is an empty line after each sentence. The first item on each line is a word, the second
a part-of-speech (POS) tag, the third a syntactic chunk tag and the fourth the named entity tag. The chunk tags
and the named entity tags have the format I-TYPE which means that the word is inside a phrase of type TYPE. Only
if two phrases of the same type immediately follow each other, the first word of the second phrase will have tag
B-TYPE to show that it starts a new phrase. A word with tag O is not part of a phrase. Note the dataset uses IOB2
tagging scheme, whereas the original dataset uses IOB1.

An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
{
'tags': ['SOCCER','-', 'JAPAN', 'GET', 'LUCKY', 'WIN', ',', 'CHINA', 'IN', 'SURPRISE', 'DEFEAT', '.'],
'tokens': [0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}
```
