In plain words: A collection of 953 Finnish news articles is hand-labeled to mark people, places, organizations, products, events, and dates, so systems can learn to spot these entities. It is free for research, and rule-based and neural systems were tested on both similar and outside news.
Abstract
We present a corpus of Finnish news articles with a manually prepared named entity annotation. The corpus consists of 953 articles (193,742 word tokens) with six named entity classes (organization, location, person, product, event, and date). The articles are extracted from the archives of Digitoday, a Finnish online technology news source. The corpus is available for research purposes. We present baseline experiments on the corpus using a rule-based and two deep learning systems on two, in-domain and out-of-domain, test sets.
