# Adminset the first dataset of French Administrative documents

Adminset is a dataset of more than 50 millions sentences or text fragments, extract from French adminstrative documents produce by municipalities, communes, metropolises, départements, regions, prefectures and ministries.

    abstract = "In recent years, Pre-trained Language Models(PLMs) have been widely used to analyze various documents, playing a crucial role in Natural Language Processing (NLP). However, administrative texts have rarely been used in information extraction tasks, even though this resource is available as open data in many countries. Most of these texts contain many specific domain terms. Moreover, especially in France, they are unstructured because many administrations produce them without a standardized framework. Due to this fact, current language models do not process these documents correctly. In this paper, we propose AdminBERT, the first French pre-trained language models for the administrative domain. Since interesting information in such texts corresponds to named entities and the relations between them, we compare this PLM with general domain language models, fine-tuned on the Named Entity Recognition (NER) task applied to administrative texts, as well as to a Large Language Model (LLM) and to a language model with an architecture different from the BERT one. We show that taking advantage of a PLM for French administrative data increases the performance in the administrative and general domains, on these texts. We also release AdminBERT as well as AdminSet, the pre-training corpus of administrative texts in French and the subset AdminSet-NER, the first NER dataset consisting exclusively of administrative texts in French."
