Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The dataset was created for BEST 2010: Word Tokenization Competition by NECTEC.

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

[More Information Needed]

Who are the source language producers?

Respective authors of the articles, news, encyclopedia and novels

Annotations

Annotation process

Detailed annotation guidelines can be found in BEST_Guideline_Release1.pdf as part of the uncompressed files. Word tokenization standard used was InterBEST2009

Who are the annotators?

[More Information Needed]

Personal and Sensitive Information

All data are curated from public sources. No personal and sensitive information is expected to be included.

Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

  • word tokenization dataset from articles, news, encyclopedia and novels

Discussion of Biases

  • texts are relatively formal ones from articles, news, encyclopedia and novels.
  • word tokenization standard used was InterBEST2009.

Other Known Limitations

  • some tags unrelated to word tokenization (<NE> and <AB>) are cleaned out.
  • no word boundary provdied for the test set
