Datasets for toponym recognition and disambiguation for nineteenth-century English newspapers
We present two datasets, one for the task of toponym recognition and one for the task of toponym disambiguation. The datasets are derived from the "Dataset for Toponym Resolution in Nineteenth-Century English Newspapers" (DOI: https://doi.org/10.23636/r7d4-kw08). The toponym recognition dataset consists of two JSON files (ner_fine_train.json and ner_fine_dev.json), whereas the toponym...Coll Ardanuy, Mariona ; Nanni, Federico

Diachronic word embeddings from 19th-century newspapers digitised by the British Library (1800-1919)
Word vectors related to the paper "Machines in the media: semantic change in the lexicon of mechanization in 19th-century British newspapers" by Nilo Pedrazzini and Barbara McGillivray (2022). The embeddings were trained on a 4.2-billion-word corpus of 19th-century British newspapers using Word2Vec and specific parameters. The embeddings are divided into...Pedrazzini, Nilo ; McGillivray, Barbara

Decade-level Word2Vec models from automatically transcribed 19th-century newspapers digitised by the British Library (1800-1919)
Word embeddings trained on a 4.2-billion-word corpus of 19th-century British newspapers using Word2Vec and specific parameters. The embeddings are divided into periods of ten years each. Unlike those in this repository, these were not aligned and OCR errors skimmed from the vocabulary. See related GitHub repository for the full documentation:...Pedrazzini, Nilo
