# Dataset Card for MedDistant19

## Dataset Description

- **Repository:** https://github.com/suamin/MedDistant19
- **Paper:** https://aclanthology.org/2022.coling-1.198/


#### Dataset Summary

MedDistant19 is a more accurate benchmark for broad-coverage distantly supervised biomedical relation extraction that addresses these shortcomings and is obtained by aligning the MEDLINE abstracts with the widely used SNOMED Clinical Terms knowledge base.
For more details, please refer to the paper: https://aclanthology.org/2022.coling-1.198/

### Languages

The language in the dataset is English.

## Dataset Structure

<!-- This section provides a description of the dataset fields, and additional information about the dataset structure such as criteria used to create the splits, relationships between data points, etc. -->

### Data Instances

An example of 'train' looks as follow:
```json
{
  'text': 'In spite of multiple treatment regimens consisting of surgical resection , radiation therapy , and multi-agent chemotherapy , the prognosis is very poor .',
  'h': {
    'id': 'C0015252',
    'start': 54,
    'end': 72,
    'name': 'surgical resection'
  },
  't': {
    'id': 'C0033325',
    'start': 130,
    'end': 139,
    'name': 'prognosis'
  },
  'relation': 0
}
```

### Data Fields

- `text`: the text of this example, a `string` feature.
- `h`: head entity
    - `id`: identifier of the head entity, a `string` feature.
    - `start`: character off start of the head entity, a `int32` feature.
    - `end`: character off end of the head entity, a `int32` feature.
    - `name`: head entity text, a `string` feature.
- `t`: tail entity
    - `id`: identifier of the tail entity, a `string` feature.
    - `start`: character off start of the tail entity, a `int32` feature.
    - `end`: character off end of the tail entity, a `int32` feature.
    - `name`: tail entity text, a `string` feature.
- `relation`: a class label.
