### Dataset Summary

MedNERF is a French medical NER dataset whose aim is to serve as a test set for medical NER models.
It has been built using a sample of French medical prescriptions annotated with the same guidelines as the [n2c2 dataset](https://academic.oup.com/jamia/article-abstract/27/1/3/5581277?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false).
Entities are annotated with the following labels: `Drug`, `Strength`, `Form`, `Dosage`, `Duration` and `Frequency`, using the IOB format.
