# Dataset Card for Dataset Name

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** [BioCreative VII LitCovid Track](https://biocreative.bioinformatics.udel.edu/tasks/biocreative-vii/track-5/)
- **Paper:** [Multi-label classification for biomedical literature: an overview of the BioCreative VII LitCovid Track for COVID-19 literature topic annotations](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9428574/)

### Dataset Summary

Topic annotation in LitCovid is a multi-label document classification task that assigns one or more labels to each article. There are 7 topic labels used in LitCovid: Treatment, Diagnosis, Prevention, Mechanism, Transmission, Epidemic Forecasting, and Case Report. These topics have been demonstrated to be effective for information retrieval and have also been used in many downstream applications related to COVID-19.
