### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
This is a dataset for Named Entity Recognition (NER) in Catalan. It adapts <a href="http://clic.ub.edu/corpus/">Ancora corpus</a> for Machine Learning and Language Model evaluation purposes. |
|
|
|
AnCora corpus is used under [CC-by](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) licence. |
|
|
|
This dataset was developed by BSC TeMU as part of the AINA project, and to enrich the Catalan Language Understanding Benchmark (CLUB). |
|
|
|

### Data Fields |
|
|
|
Every file has two columns, with the word form or punctuation symbol in the first one and the corresponding IOB tag in the second one. |
|
|
|
### Data Splits |
|
|
|
We took the original train, dev and test splits from the [UD version of the corpus] (https://huggingface.co/datasets/universal_dependencies) |
|
|
|
- train: 10,630 examples |
|
- validation: 1,429 examples |
|
- test: 1,528 examples |

## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
### Methodology |
|
|
|
We adapted the NER labels from Ancora corpus to a word-per-line format. |
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization |
|
|
|
AnCora consists of a Catalan corpus (AnCora-CA) and a Spanish corpus (AnCora-ES), each of them of 500,000 tokens (some multi-word). The corpora are annotated for linguistic phenomena at different levels. |
|
AnCora corpus is mainly based on newswire texts. For more information, refer to Taulé, M., M.A. Martí, M. Recasens (2009). <a href="http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2008/pdf/35_paper.pdf">"AnCora: Multilevel Annotated Corpora for Catalan and Spanish”, Proceedings of 6th International Conference on language Resources and Evaluation"</a>. |
|
|
|
#### Who are the source language producers? |
|
|
|
Catalan Ancora corpus is compiled from articles from the following news outlets: <a href="https://www.efe.com">EFE</a>, <a href="https://www.acn.cat">ACN</a>, <a href="https://www.elperiodico.cat/ca/">El Periodico</a>. |
|
|
|
### Annotations |
|
|
|
#### Annotation process |
|
|
|
We adapted the NER labels from Ancora corpus to a token-per-line, multi-column format. |
|
|
|
#### Who are the annotators? |
|
|
|
Original annotators from Ancora corpus. |
|
### Personal and Sensitive Information |
|
|
|
No personal or sensitive information included. |
