Introduction

The directory data contains a corpus of Finnish technology related news articles with a manually prepared named entity annotation (digitoday.2014.csv). The text material was extracted from the archives of Digitoday, a Finnish online technology news source (www.digitoday.fi). The corpus consists of 953 articles (193,742 word tokens) with six named entity classes (organization, location, person, product, event, and date). The corpus is available for research purposes and can be readily used for development of NER systems for Finnish. The corpus is described in the article

"A Finnish News Corpus for Named Entity Recognition"

Experiments

The repository also contains the Digitoday (digitoday.2015.test.csv) and Wikipedia (wikipedia.test.csv) evaluation sets employed in the experiments of the article

"A Finnish News Corpus for Named Entity Recognition"

The training and development sets formed of digitoday.2014.csv employed in the experiments can be found from files digitoday.2014.train.csv and digitoday.2014.dev.csv, respectively.

Finally, the directory experiments contains the predictions of systems FiNER, Gungor-NN, and Sohrab-NN in the paper "A Finnish News Corpus for Named Entity Recognition" on the Digitoday and Wikipedia evaluation sets.
