# fiNERweb – Malayalam (mal)
## Dataset Summary
**iNERweb (Malayalam)** is a Malayalam subset of the **fiNERweb** multilingual Named Entity Recognition (NER) dataset.
The dataset provides **character-level entity annotations**, enabling precise span-based NER modeling suitable for transformer and span-classification architectures.
* **Language:** Malayalam (`mal`)
* **Task:** Named Entity Recognition (NER)
* **Annotation type:** Character spans
* **Split:** Train

## Dataset Structure
```text
DatasetDict({
train: Dataset({
features: ['id', 'text', 'char_spans'],
num_rows: 27,552
})
})
```
---
## Data Fields
Each example in the dataset contains the following fields:
```json
{
"id": str,
"text": str,
"char_spans": [
{
"start": int,
"end": int,
"label": str
}
]
}
```
### Field Description
| Field | Type | Description |
| ------------ | ------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| `id` | `string` | Unique identifier for the example |
| `text` | `string` | Original Malayalam text |
| `char_spans` | `list[dict]` | Character-level entity spans with labels |
---
## Intended Use
This dataset is suitable for:
* Character-span–based NER models
* Transformer-based Malayalam NER (mBERT, XLM-R, IndicBERT, etc.)
* Span classification / token-to-span alignment research
-д- Multilingual and low-resource NER experiments
