CoNLL 2002

Introduced in Introduction to the CoNLL-2002 Shared Task: Language-Independent Named Entity Recognition1 Jan 2002 archive 2025-07-28

The shared task of CoNLL-2002 concerns language-independent named entity recognition. The types of named entities include: persons, locations, organizations and names of miscellaneous entities that do not belong to the previous three groups. The participants of the shared task were offered training and test data for at least two languages. Information sources other than the training data might have been used in this shared task.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

5 shown of 5 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 70. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
