It is also an instrument that plays a significant role in many other NLP applications, such as Machine Translation (MT), Information Retrieval (IR), and Part of Speech Tagging (POST). Kurdish is an under-resourced language from the NLP perspective. Particularly, in all the categories, the lack of NER resources hinders other aspects of Kurdish processing. In this work, we present a data set that covers several categories of NEs in Kurdish (Sorani). The dataset is a significant amendment to a previously developed dataset in the Kurdish BLARK (Basic Language Resource Kit). It covers 11 categories and 33261 entries in total.
