entity-recognition-datasets

Why we included this project

Training a named entity recognition model usually means hunting down labeled data, and this repo saves you that trip by gathering dozens of annotated corpora in one place. The datasets span biomedical texts, movie and restaurant queries, news, social media, and finance filings, with a range of entity types, so you can usually find something close to your own use case. It also covers multiple languages and annotation schemes, which matters if you want to check how a model generalizes beyond one domain. One honest caveat: the maintainer says the collection is no longer actively expanded, so treat it as a solid starting point rather than a live feed. For comparing corpora and their licenses before committing to one, it's a handy reference.
