### Dataset Summary

A dataset of Legal Documents from German federal court decisions for Named Entity Recognition. The dataset is human-annotated with 19 fine-grained entity classes. The dataset consists of approx. 67,000 sentences and contains 54,000 annotated entities. NER tags use the `BIO` tagging scheme. 

For more details see [https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.13016v1.pdf](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.13016v1.pdf).

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

[More Information Needed](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-contribute-to-the-dataset-cards)

 --> 
### Source Data

Court decisions from 2017 and 2018 were selected for the dataset, published online by the [Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection](http://www.rechtsprechung-im-internet.de). The documents originate from seven federal courts: Federal Labour Court (BAG), Federal Fiscal Court (BFH), Federal Court of Justice (BGH), Federal Patent Court (BPatG), Federal Social Court (BSG), Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) and Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG).
