# Universal NER

Universal Named Entity Recognition (UNER) aims to fill a gap in multilingual NLP: high quality NER datasets in many languages with a shared tagset.

UNER is modeled after the Universal Dependencies project, in that it is intended to be a large community annotation effort with language-universal guidelines. 

Our goal is to incrementally expand the available datasets (in quality, tagset, languages, etc.). Contributions are very welcome.
