UNER v1 (Universal NER v1)

Introduced by Stephen Mayhew et al. in Universal NER: A Gold-Standard Multilingual Named Entity Recognition Benchmark14 Nov 2023 archive 2025-07-28

UNER v1 adds an NER annotation layer to 18 datasets (primarily treebanks from UD) and covers 12 geneologically and ty- pologically diverse languages: Cebuano, Danish, German, English, Croatian, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Serbian, Swedish, Tagalog, and Chinese4. Overall, UNER v1 contains nine full datasets with training, development, and test splits over eight languages, three evaluation sets for lower-resource languages (TL and CEB), and a parallel evaluation benchmark spanning six languages.
