Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a foundational task in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR), which facilitates semantic search and structured data extraction. We introduce \textbf{AWED-FiNER}, an open-source…

We present MultiCoNER, a large multilingual dataset for Named Entity Recognition that covers 3 domains (Wiki sentences, questions, and search queries) across 11 languages, as well as multilingual and code-mixing subsets. This dataset is…

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a basic NLP task and finds major applications in conversational and search systems. It helps us identify key entities in a sentence used for the downstream application. NER or similar slot filling systems…

Named Entity Recognition (NER) System aims to extract the existing information into the following categories such as: Persons Name, Organization, Location, Date and Time, Term, Designation and Short forms. Now, it is considered to be…

We take a step towards addressing the under-representation of the African continent in NLP research by creating the first large publicly available high-quality dataset for named entity recognition (NER) in ten African languages, bringing…

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a well-studied problem in NLP. However, there is much less focus on studying NER datasets, compared to developing new NER models. In this paper, we employed three simple techniques to detect annotation…

Named entity recognition (NER) is widely used in natural language processing applications and downstream tasks. However, most NER tools target flat annotation from popular datasets, eschewing the semantic information available in nested…

Transliteration is very important in the Indian language context due to the usage of multiple scripts and the widespread use of romanized inputs. However, few training and evaluation sets are publicly available. We introduce Aksharantar,…

This paper presents a multi-way parallel English-Tamil-Sinhala corpus annotated with Named Entities (NEs), where Sinhala and Tamil are low-resource languages. Using pre-trained multilingual Language Models (mLMs), we establish new benchmark…
