A Dataset of Kurdish (Sorani) Named Entities -- An Amendment to Kurdish-BLARK Named Entities
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is one of the essential applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP). It is also an instrument that plays a significant role in many other NLP applications, such as Machine Translation (MT), Information Retrieval (IR), and Part of Speech Tagging (POST). Kurdish is an under-resourced language from the NLP perspective. Particularly, in all the categories, the lack of NER resources hinders other aspects of Kurdish processing. In this work, we present a data set that covers several categories of NEs in Kurdish (Sorani). The dataset is a significant amendment to a previously developed dataset in the Kurdish BLARK (Basic Language Resource Kit). It covers 11 categories and 33261 entries in total. The dataset is publicly available for non-commercial use under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license at https://kurdishblark.github.io/.

A Rule-based Kurdish Text Transliteration System
In this article, we present a rule-based approach for transliterating two mostly used orthographies in Sorani Kurdish. Our work consists of detecting a character in a word by removing the possible ambiguities and mapping…
