MultiLeg: Dataset for Text Sanitisation in Less-resourced Languages

Rinalds Vīksna, Inguna Skadiņa

Abstract

Text sanitization is the task of detecting and removing personal information from the text. While it has been well-studied in monolingual settings, today, there is also a need for multilingual text sanitization. In this paper, we introduce MultiLeg: a parallel, multilingual named entity (NE) dataset consisting of documents from the Court of Justice of the European Union annotated with semantic categories suitable for text sanitization. The dataset is available in 8 languages, and it contains 3082 parallel text segments for each language. We also show that the pseudonymized dataset remains useful for downstream tasks.
