### Dataset Summary

ScienceIE is a dataset for the SemEval task of extracting key phrases and relations between them from scientific documents.
A corpus for the task was built from ScienceDirect open access publications and was available freely for participants, without the need to sign a copyright agreement. Each data instance consists of one paragraph of text, drawn from a scientific paper.
Publications were provided in plain text, in addition to xml format, which included the full text of the publication as well as additional metadata. 500 paragraphs from journal articles evenly distributed among the domains Computer Science, Material Sciences and Physics were selected.
The training data part of the corpus consists of 350 documents, 50 for development and 100 for testing. This is similar to the pilot task described in Section 5, for which 144 articles were used for training, 40 for development and for 100 testing.

There are three subtasks:

- Subtask (A): Identification of keyphrases 
  - Given a scientific publication, the goal of this task is to identify all the keyphrases in the document.
- Subtask (B): Classification of identified keyphrases
  - In this task, each keyphrase needs to be labelled by one of three types: (i) PROCESS, (ii) TASK, and (iii) MATERIAL. 
    - PROCESS: Keyphrases relating to some scientific model, algorithm or process should be labelled by PROCESS. 
    - TASK: Keyphrases those denote the application, end goal, problem, task should be labelled by TASK. 
    - MATERIAL: MATERIAL keyphrases identify the resources used in the paper.
- Subtask (C): Extraction of relationships between two identified keyphrases 
  - Every pair of keyphrases need to be labelled by one of three types: (i) HYPONYM-OF, (ii) SYNONYM-OF, and (iii) NONE. 
    - HYPONYM-OF: The relationship between two keyphrases A and B is HYPONYM-OF if semantic field of A is included within that of B. One example is Red HYPONYM-OF Color. 
    - SYNONYM-OF: The relationship between two keyphrases A and B is SYNONYM-OF if they both denote the same semantic field, for example Machine Learning SYNONYM-OF ML.

Note: In this repository the documents were split into sentences using spaCy, resulting in a 2655, 448, 934 split. The `id` consists of the document id and the example index within the document separated by an underscore, e.g. `S0375960115004120_1`. This should enable you to reconstruct the documents from the sentences.

```
Note: The tag sequence consists of vectors for each token, that encode what the relationship between that token
and every other token in the sequence is for the first token in each key phrase.
