Multi-CrossRE A Multi-Lingual Multi-Domain Dataset for Relation Extraction
Most research in Relation Extraction (RE) involves the English language,
mainly due to the lack of multi-lingual resources. We propose Multi-CrossRE,
the broadest multi-lingual dataset for RE, including 26 languages in addition
to English, and covering six text domains. Multi-CrossRE is a machine
translated version of CrossRE (Bassignana and Plank, 2022), with a sub-portion
including more than 200 sentences in seven diverse languages checked by native
speakers. We run a baseline model over the 26 new datasets and--as sanity
check--over the 26 back-translations to English. Results on the back-translated
data are consistent with the ones on the original English CrossRE, indicating
high quality of the translation and the resulting dataset.
