THE ACL RD-TEC 2.0: A dataset for evaluation of term and entity recognition in computational linguistics

#What this repository contains?

The dataset is organised in the following directories:

• `readme.txt': this file.
• `/documents': contains the annotation guidelines as well as a paper that describe the annotation process.
• `/annotations_during_guideline_dev': Materials related to the development of guidelines; this includes the annotated files during this process as well as the guidelines used by the annotators.
• `/annoitation_files': contains all annotated files; these files are grouped per annotator; for ease of use, those annotations that are annotated by by both annotators are collected and again presented in the directory double_annotated_files.
• `/pos_tagged_vertical_files': Annotation files converted to the familiar vertical format (i.e., a token or annotation tag per line). These files contain automatically obtained part-of-speech tagged and lemmas using the Stanford CoreNLP library.
• `/raw_abstract_txt': Contains abstract text files, segmented and corrected for OCR errors. These files do not contain any annotation.
• `/licenses': license files.

#History

ACL RD-TEC 2.0 is developed by Dr. Anne-Kathrin Schumann and Behrang QasemiZadeh. The dataset is developed as the second version of ACL RD-TEC in order to provide annotation of terms in context.
