      The dysuria resolved faster in patients implanted with 103Pd but was
      unaffected by the use of supplemental radiotherapy and/or androgen
      deprivation therapy.

# Cross-lingual Argument Mining in the Medical Domain

This model is a fine-tuned version of mBERT for the argument mining task using AbstRCT data in English and Spanish.  
The dataset consists of abstracts of 5 disease types for argument component detection and argument relation classification:

- `neoplasm`: 350 train, 100 dev and 50 test abstracts
- `glaucoma_test`: 100 abstracts
- `mixed_test`: 100 abstracts (20 on glaucoma, 20 on neoplasm, 20 on diabetes, 20 on hypertension, 20 on hepatitis) 

The results (F1 macro averaged at token level) achieved for each test set: 

   Test   | F1-macro | F1-Claim | F1-Premise 
--|-------|-------|-------
 Neoplasm |   82.36  |  74.89   |   89.07    
 Glaucoma |   80.52  |  75.22   |   84.86     
   Mixed  |   81.69  |  75.06   |   88.57
