	### Dataset Summary

	The FiNER-Open Research Dataset (FiNER-ORD) consists of a manually annotated dataset of financial news articles (in English)
	collected from [webz.io] (https://webz.io/free-datasets/financial-news-articles/).
	In total, there are 47851 news articles available in this data at the point of writing this paper.
	Each news article is available in the form of a JSON document with various metadata information like
	the source of the article, publication date, author of the article, and the title of the article.
	For the manual annotation of named entities in financial news, we randomly sampled 220 documents from the entire set of news articles.
	We observed that some articles were empty in our sample, so after filtering the empty documents, we were left with a total of 201 articles.
	We use [Doccano](https://github.com/doccano/doccano), an open-source annotation tool,
	to ingest the raw dataset and manually label person (PER), location (LOC), and organization (ORG) entities.
	For our experiments, we use the manually labeled FiNER-ORD to benchmark model performance.
	Thus, we make a train, validation, and test split of FiNER-ORD.
	To avoid biased results, manual annotation is performed by annotators who have no knowledge about the labeling functions for the weak supervision framework.
	The train and validation sets are annotated by two separate annotators and validated by a third annotator.
	The test dataset is annotated by another annotator. We present a manual annotation guide in the Appendix of the paper detailing the procedures used to create the manually annotated FiNER-ORD.

	After manual annotation, the news articles are split into sentences.
	We then tokenize each sentence, employing a script to tokenize multi-token entities into separate tokens (e.g. PER_B denotes the beginning token of a person (PER) entity
	and PER_I represents intermediate PER tokens). We exclude white spaces when tokenizing multi-token entities.
	The descriptive statistics on the resulting FiNER-ORD are available in the Table of [Data Splits](#data-splits) section.

	[Information in paper ]()


	## Additional Information

	This dataset is also available in an alternative format. While the current version is structured with one token per row, we also offer a format where each row contains a
	list of tokens and their corresponding labels, representing a complete sentence. You can find this alternative dataset
	at: [gtfintechlab/finer-ord-bio](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gtfintechlab/finer-ord-bio)
