Wiki-Quantities and Wiki-Measurements: Datasets of Quantities and their Measurement Context from Wikipedia

The task of extracting quantitative information from text is typically approached in a pipeline manner, where quantities are identified before their individual measurement context is extracted. To support the development and evaluation of systems for measurement extraction, we present two large datasets that correspond to the two tasks: Wiki-Quantities, a dataset for identifying quantities, and Wiki-Measurements, a dataset for extracting the measurement context for given quantities. The datasets are heuristically generated from Wikipedia articles and Wikidata facts.
