Dataset Card for Swedish Medical NER

swedish_medical_ner is Named Entity Recognition dataset on medical text in Swedish. It consists three subsets which are in turn derived from three different sources respectively: the Swedish Wikipedia (a.k.a. wiki), Läkartidningen (a.k.a. lt), and 1177 Vårdguiden (a.k.a. 1177). While the Swedish Wikipedia and Läkartidningen subsets in total contains over 790000 sequences with 60 characters each, the 1177 Vårdguiden subset is manually annotated and contains 927 sentences, 2740 annotations, out of which 1574 are disorder and findings, 546 are pharmaceutical drug, and 620 are body structure.

Texts from both Swedish Wikipedia and Läkartidningen were automatically annotated using a list of medical seed terms. Sentences from 1177 Vårdguiden were manuually annotated.
