Medical Information Extraction
A dataset of relationships between medical terms in PubMed articles, for relation extraction and related natural language processing tasks.
Please view this page on a desktop computer to see more information including CSV preview and download options.
About this data
This dataset contains 3,984 medical sentences extracted from PubMed abstracts and relationships between discrete medical terms were annotated. This dataset focuses primarily on “treat” and “cause” relationships, with 1,043 sentences containing treatment relations and 1,787 containing causal ones.
Human-in-the-loop annotators were given two different terms (such as “Lewy Body Dementia” and “Well-formed Visual Hallucinations”) and were asked to mark the relationship between those terms (in this case “Lewy Body Dementia causes Well-Formed Visual Hallucinations).
