CoNLL-2003 is a named entity recognition dataset released as a part of CoNLL-2003 shared task: language-independent named entity recognition. The data consists of eight files covering two languages: English and German. For each of the languages there is a training file, a development file, a test file and a large file with unannotated data.

WikiANN, also known as PAN-X, is a multilingual named entity recognition dataset. It consists of Wikipedia articles that have been annotated with LOC (location), PER (person), and ORG (organization) tags in the IOB2 format¹². This dataset serves as a valuable resource for training and evaluating named entity recognition models across various languages.

XGLUE is an evaluation benchmark XGLUE,which is composed of 11 tasks that span 19 languages. For each task, the training data is only available in English. This means that to succeed at XGLUE, a model must have a strong zero-shot cross-lingual transfer capability to learn from the English data of a specific task and transfer what it learned to other languages. Comparing to its concurrent work XTREME, XGLUE has two characteristics: First, it includes cross-lingual NLU and cross-lingual NLG tasks at the same time; Second, besides including 5 existing cross-lingual tasks (i.e. NER, POS, MLQA, PAWS-X and XNLI), XGLUE selects 6 new tasks from Bing scenarios as well, including News Classification (NC), Query-Ad Matching (QADSM), Web Page Ranking (WPR), QA Matching (QAM), Question Generation (QG) and News Title Generation (NTG). Such diversities of languages, tasks and task origin provide a comprehensive benchmark for quantifying the quality of a pre-trained model on cross-lingual natural lan

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.
