Dataset Summary
This is the official repository of TweetNER7 ("Named Entity Recognition in Twitter: A Dataset and Analysis on Short-Term Temporal Shifts, AACL main conference 2022"), an NER dataset on Twitter with 7 entity labels. Each instance of TweetNER7 comes with a timestamp which distributes from September 2019 to August 2021. The tweet collection used in TweetNER7 is same as what used in TweetTopic. The dataset is integrated in TweetNLP too.
- Entity Types:
corperation
,creative_work
,event
,group
,location
,product
,person
Preprocessing
We pre-process tweets before the annotation to normalize some artifacts, converting URLs into a special token {{URL}}
and non-verified usernames into {{USERNAME}}
.
For verified usernames, we replace its display name (or account name) with symbols {@}
.
For example, a tweet
Get the all-analog Classic Vinyl Edition
of "Takin' Off" Album from @herbiehancock
via @bluenoterecords link below:
http://bluenote.lnk.to/AlbumOfTheWeek
is transformed into the following text.
Get the all-analog Classic Vinyl Edition
of "Takin' Off" Album from {@herbiehancock@}
via {@bluenoterecords@} link below: {{URL}}
A simple function to format tweet follows below.
import re
from urlextract import URLExtract
extractor = URLExtract()
def format_tweet(tweet):
# mask web urls
urls = extractor.find_urls(tweet)
for url in urls:
tweet = tweet.replace(url, "{{URL}}")
# format twitter account
tweet = re.sub(r"\b(\s*)(@[\S]+)\b", r'\1{\2@}', tweet)
return tweet
target = """Get the all-analog Classic Vinyl Edition of "Takin' Off" Album from @herbiehancock via @bluenoterecords link below: http://bluenote.lnk.to/AlbumOfTheWeek"""
target_format = format_tweet(target)
print(target_format)
'Get the all-analog Classic Vinyl Edition of "Takin\' Off" Album from {@herbiehancock@} via {@bluenoterecords@} link below: {{URL}}'
We ask annotators to ignore those special tokens but label the verified users' mentions.
Data Split
split | number of instances | description |
---|---|---|
train_2020 | 4616 | training dataset from September 2019 to August 2020 |
train_2021 | 2495 | training dataset from September 2020 to August 2021 |
train_all | 7111 | combined training dataset of train_2020 and train_2021 |
validation_2020 | 576 | validation dataset from September 2019 to August 2020 |
validation_2021 | 310 | validation dataset from September 2020 to August 2021 |
test_2020 | 576 | test dataset from September 2019 to August 2020 |
test_2021 | 2807 | test dataset from September 2020 to August 2021 |
train_random | 4616 | randomly sampled training dataset with the same size as train_2020 from train_all |
validation_random | 576 | randomly sampled training dataset with the same size as validation_2020 from validation_all |
extra_2020 | 87880 | extra tweet without annotations from September 2019 to August 2020 |
extra_2021 | 93594 | extra tweet without annotations from September 2020 to August 2021 |
For the temporal-shift setting, model should be trained on train_2020
with validation_2020
and evaluate on test_2021
.
In general, model would be trained on train_all
, the most representative training set with validation_2021
and evaluate on test_2021
.
Models
Following models are fine-tuned on train_all
and validated on validation_2021
of tner/tweetner7
. See full model list here.
