AnCora Catalan NER.
This is a dataset for Named Eentity Reacognition (NER) from Ancora corpus adapted for
Machine Learning and Language Model evaluation purposes.
Since multiwords (including Named Entites) in the original Ancora corpus are aggregated as
a single lexical item using underscores (e.g. "Ajuntament_de_Barcelona")
we splitted them to align with word-per-line format, and added conventional Begin-Inside-Outside (IOB)
tags to mark and classify Named Entites.
We did not filter out the different categories of NEs from Ancora (weak and strong).
We did 6 minor edits by hand.
AnCora corpus is used under [CC-by] (

This dataset was developed by BSC TeMU as part of the AINA project, and to enrich the Catalan Language Understanding Benchmark (CLUB).
