Dataset Card for BioScope

The BioScope corpus consists of medical and biological texts annotated for negation, speculation and their linguistic scope. This was done to allow a comparison between the development of systems for negation/hedge detection and scope resolution. The BioScope corpus was annotated by two independent linguists following the guidelines written by our linguist expert before the annotation of the corpus was initiated.
