= A Human-Annotated Dataset for Language Modeling and Named Entity Recognition in Medieval Documents

== Description

This is an open dataset of sentences from 19th and 20th century letterpress reprints of documents from the Hussite era. The dataset contains a corpus for language modeling and human annotations for named entity recognition (NER).

=== Example

{{{

který/O mu/O prokazoval/O věrné/O služby/O a/O kterého/O chce/O Zikmund/B-PER
touto/O odměnou/O povzbuditi/O k/O ještě/O usilovnější/O službě/O ,/O
