The English Penn Treebank (PTB) corpus, and in particular the section of the corpus corresponding to the articles of Wall Street Journal (WSJ), is one of the most known and used corpus for the evaluation of models for sequence labelling. The task consists of annotating each word with its Part-of-Speech tag. In the most common split of this corpus, sections from 0 to 18 are used for training (38 219 sentences, 912 344 tokens), sections from 19 to 21 are used for validation (5 527 sentences, 131 768 tokens), and sections from 22 to 24 are used for testing (5 462 sentences, 129 654 tokens). The corpus is also commonly used for character-level and word-level Language Modelling.

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. The English data was taken from the Reuters Corpus. This corpus consists of Reuters news stories between August 1996 and August 1997. For the training and development set, ten days worth of data were taken from the files representing the end of August 1996. For the test set, the texts were from December 1996. The preprocessed raw data covers the month of September 1996. The text for the German data was taken from the ECI Multilingual Text Corpus. This corpus consists of texts in many languages. The portion of data that was used for this task, was extracted from the German newspaper Frankfurter Rundshau. All three of the training, development and test sets were taken from articles written in one week at the end of August 1992. The raw data were taken from the months of September to December 1992. | English data | Articles | Sentences | Tokens | LOC | MISC | ORG | PER | |-------------------|----------|-----------|---------|------|------|------|------| | Training set | 946 | 14,987 | 203,621 | 7140 | 3438 | 6321 | 6600 | | Development set | 216 | 3,466 | 51,362 | 1837 | 922 | 1341 | 1842 | | Test set | 231 | 3,684 | 46,435 | 1668 | 702 | 1661 | 1617 | Number of articles, sentences, tokens and entities (locations, miscellaneous, organizations, and persons) in English data files. | German data | Articles | Sentences | Tokens | LOC | MISC | ORG | PER | |-------------------|----------|-----------|---------|------|------|------|------| | Training set | 553 | 12,705 | 206,931 | 4363 | 2288 | 2427 | 2773 | | Development set | 201 | 3,068 | 51,444 | 1181 | 1010 | 1241 | 1401 | | Test set | 155 | 3,160 | 51,943 | 1035 | 670 | 773 | 1195 | Number of articles, sentences, tokens and entities (locations, miscellaneous, organizations, and persons) in German data files.

The CoNLL dataset is a widely used resource in the field of natural language processing (NLP). The term “CoNLL” stands for Conference on Natural Language Learning. It originates from a series of shared tasks organized at the Conferences of Natural Language Learning.

CoNLL-2000 is a dataset for dividing text into syntactically related non-overlapping groups of words, so-called text chunking. Source: https://www.clips.uantwerpen.be/conll2000/chunking/

A parallel corpus of Hindi and English, and HindMonoCorp, a monolingual corpus of Hindi in their release version 0.5. Both corpora were collected from web sources and preprocessed primarily for the training of statistical machine translation systems. HindEnCorp consists of 274k parallel sentences (3.9 million Hindi and 3.8 million English tokens). HindMonoCorp amounts to 787 million tokens in 44 million sentences.
