Repository for the paper "MultiNERD: A Multilingual, Multi-Genre and Fine-Grained Dataset for Named Entity Recognition (and Disambiguation)" (NAACL 2022).
### Overview:
MultiNERD is a novel methodology for automatically creating multilingual, multi-genre, and fine-grained annotations for Named Entity Recognition and Entity Disambiguation. It is the first language-agnostic approach that covers 10 languages, 15 NER categories, and 2 textual genres. The dataset is designed to address the limitations of existing NER datasets, enabling the development of more versatile and accurate NLP systems.
### Key Features:
- **10 Languages**: Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
- **15 NER Categories**: Person (PER), Location (LOC), Organization (ORG), Animal (ANIM), Biological entity (BIO), Celestial Body (CEL), Disease (DIS), Event (EVE), Food (FOOD), Instrument (INST), Media (MEDIA), Plant (PLANT), Mythological entity.
- **2 Textual Genres**: Fiction and Non-Fiction.
### Tech Stack:
- **Data and Evaluation Code**: Available on Hugging Face Datasets.
### Why It Matters:
MultiNERD represents a significant advancement in the field of NLP by providing a language-agnostic methodology for creating multilingual, multi-genre, and fine-grained annotations for Named Entity Recognition and Entity Disambiguation. This dataset is crucial for researchers and practitioners aiming to improve the accuracy and versatility of NLP models, particularly in the context of multilingual and multimodal applications.
