Software Entity Recognition

Description

Data collected from our paper "Software Entity Recognition with Noise-robust Learning", ASE 2023.

WikiSER corpus includes 1.7M sentences with named entity labels extracted from 79k Wikipedia articles. Relevant software named entities are labeled under 12 fine-grained categories:

Type	Examples
Algorithm	Auction algorithm, Collaborative filtering
Application	Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Excel
