The 4thSlav-NER Shared Task:
Named Entities in Slavic Languages —
Recognition, Normalization, Classification and Cross-Lingual Linking
**
co-located with the Slav-NLP <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/>Workshop, EACL 2023

TASK DESCRIPTION:
The 4thSlav-NER Shared Task focuses on Named Entities in Slavic languages.
Due to rich inflection, free word order, derivation, and other phenomena common to
the Slavic languages, work on Named Entities poses important challenges. Fostering
research & development on the problems of Named Entities — detecting names,
lemmatization (normalization), classification, and cross-lingual matching — is
crucial for information access and wider use of NLP in Slavic languages.
The 4thSlav-NER Shared Task covers three languages:
*
Czech,
*
Polish,
*
Russian.
**
with five types of named entities:
**
*
persons,
*
locations,
*
organizations,
*
*products*
*
***events,*.
**
For information about training and test data, and *guidelines* please see Shared Task
Home Page. <http://bsnlp.cs.helsinki.fi/shared-task.html>
**
IMPORTANT: Participants are *NOT* required to perform all tasks or for all
languages. For example, a monolingual entry, without lemmatization, can
participate.
The Shared Task focuses on cross-lingual extraction of named entities — the
systems should recognize, classify, and extract the names in a document.
Detecting the positionof every name mention is NOT required. Name mentions
should be lemmatized, and mentions referring to the same real-world object
should be linked across documents and languages. The text collections consist
of documents retrieved from the Web, each set about a major /entity or event/.
The corpus was collected by crawling the Web and parsing the HTML documents.
