abstract = "Biographical event detection is a relevant task that allows for the exploration and comparison of the ways in which people{'}s lives are told and represented. This may support several real-life applications in digital humanities and in works aimed at exploring bias about minoritized groups. Despite that, there are no corpora and models specifically designed for this task. In this paper we fill this gap by presenting a new corpus annotated for biographical event detection. The corpus, which includes 20 Wikipedia biographies, was aligned with 5 existing corpora in order to train a model for the biographical event detection task. The model was able to detect all mentions of the target-entity in a biography with an F-score of 0.808 and the entity-related events with an F-score of 0.859. Finally, the model was used for performing an analysis of biases about women and non-Western people in Wikipedia biographies.",
}

Structure of the dataset

Each row in the corpus has information about the target entity of the biography (entity), the annotated token, the label, the label id, and the sentence number

Labels are the following:

  • ENTITY (a mention of the entity)
  • EVENT (all generic event like win, study)
  • EVENT-GR (semantically void predicates like be and have. Take a look at the work of Bonial and Palmer on light verbs for more information)
  • EVENT-ASP (aspectual events like start, finish)
  • EVENT-MOD (events or modifier that modify the actual occurrence of the event. E.g., not, try)

Data Statement for WikiBio corpus

Data set name: WikiBio

A. CURATION RATIONALE

WikiBio is a Corpus of 20 writers' biographies annotated for the biographical event detection task.

  • Data Collection Process. All the annotated documents were gathered from the English Wikipedia. In order to retain only relevant document we relied on Wikidata for the collection of all the entities having as occupation "writer", "novelist", or "poet", born in an African country or being African-American. We then selected only ones belonging to the Silent Generation (born between 1928 and 1945). From that collection we sampled 10 African writers and 10 African American Writers whose biographies' length were higher than 200.000 tokens.
  • Time Period. All documents have been gathered from English Wikipedia in Winter 2021.
