OntoNotes 5.0

Introduced by Sameer Pradhan et al. in Towards Robust Linguistic Analysis using OntoNotes1 Aug 2013 archive 2025-07-28

OntoNotes 5.0 is a large corpus comprising various genres of text (news, conversational telephone speech, weblogs, usenet newsgroups, broadcast, talk shows) in three languages (English, Chinese, and Arabic) with structural information (syntax and predicate argument structure) and shallow semantics (word sense linked to an ontology and coreference).

OntoNotes Release 5.0 contains the content of earlier releases - and adds source data from and/or additional annotations for, newswire, broadcast news, broadcast conversation, telephone conversation and web data in English and Chinese and newswire data in Arabic.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

30 shown of 66 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 254. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
