MESINESP2 Corpora: Annotated data for medical semantic indexing in Spanish
<p>Gold Standard annotations of the MESINESP2 corpora (training, development and test sets). </p> <p><strong>Please cite this paper if you use this dataset:</strong></p> <pre><code class="language-bash">@inproceedings{gasco2021overview, title={Overview of BioASQ 2021-MESINESP track. Evaluation of advance hierarchical classification techniques for scientific literature, patents and clinical trials}, author={Gasco, Luis and Nentidis, Anastasios and Krithara, Anastasia and Estrada-Zavala, Darryl and Murasaki, Renato Toshiyuki and Primo-Pe{\~n}a, Elena and Bojo Canales, Cristina and Paliouras, Georgios and Krallinger, Martin and others}, year={2021}, organization={CEUR Workshop Proceedings} }</code></pre> <p> </p> <p><strong>Introduction</strong></p> <p>The main aim of MESINESP2 is to promote the development of practically relevant semantic indexing tools for biomedical content in non-English language. We have generated a manually annotated corpus, where domain experts have labeled a set of scientific literature, clinical trials, and patent abstracts. All the documents were labeled with DeCS descriptors, which is a structured controlled vocabulary created by BIREME to index scientific publications on BvSalud, the largest database of scientific documents in Spanish, which hosts records from the databases LILACS, MEDLINE, IBECS, among others. </p> <p>MESINESP track at BioASQ9 explores the efficiency of systems for assigning DeCS to different types of biomedical documents. To that purpose, we have divided the task into three subtracks depending on the document type. Then, for each one we generated an annotated corpus which was provided to participating teams:</p> <ul> <li><strong>[Subtrack 1 corpus] MESINESP-L – Scientific Literature: </strong>It contains all Spanish records from LILACS and IBECS databases at the Virtual Health Library (VHL) with non-empty abstract written in Spanish.</li> <li><strong>[Subtrack 2 corpus] <strong>MESINESP-T- Clinical Trials </strong></strong>contains records from <a href="https://reec.aemps.es/reec/public/web.html">Registro Español de Estudios Clínicos (REEC)</a>. REEC doesn't provide documents with the structure title/abstract needed in BioASQ, for that reason we have built artificial abstracts based on the content available in the data crawled using the REEC <a href="https://github.com/luisgasco/REECapi">API</a>. </li> <li><strong>[Subtrack 3 corpus] MESINESP-P – Patents: </strong>This corpus includes patents in Spanish extracted from Google Patents which have the IPC code “A61P” and “A61K31”.</li> </ul> <p>In addition, we also provide a set of complementary data such as: the DeCS terminology file, a silver standard with the participants' predictions to the task background set and the entities of medications, diseases, symptoms and medical procedures extracted from the BSC NERs documents.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Files structure:</strong></p> <p><strong>Silver_Standard_Mesinesp2.zip </strong>contains two separate sections. On the one hand, the union of the labels of the best model of each participating team as long as this model had obtained at least an F-score of 0.2 (folder <em>join</em>). On the other hand, the predictions of the best models of each participant have been included individually and anonymized (folder <em>separated</em>). This silver standard contains a set of <em>8642 scientific articles</em>, <em>1537 text sections from Clinical Practice Guidelines</em>, a set of <em>8458 text segments from Medication Data Sheets</em>, <em>461 clinical trials from REEC and 5170 patents</em>. </p> <p><strong>Subtrack1-Scientific_Literature.zip</strong> contains the corpora generated for subtrack 1.

We have filtered out empty abstracts and non-Spanish abstracts. We have built the training dataset with the data crawled on 01/29/2021. This means that the data is a snapshot of that moment and that may change over time since LILACS and IBECS usually add or modify indexes after the first inclusion in the database. We distribute two different datasets: <ul> <li><strong>Articles training set: </strong>This corpus contains the set of 237574 Spanish scientific papers in VHL that have at least one DeCS code assigned to them.</li> <li><strong>Full training set</strong>: This corpus contains the whole set of 249474 Spanish documents from VHL that have at leas one DeCS code assigned to them.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Development set: </strong>We provided a development set manually indexed by our expert annotators (not VHL ones). This dataset includes 1065 articles annotated with DeCS by three expert indexers in this controlled vocabulary. The articles were initially indexed by 7 annotators, after analyzing the Inter-Annotator Agreement among their annotations we decided to select the 3 best ones, considering their annotations the valid ones to build the test set. From those 1065 records: <ul> <li>213 articles were annotated by more than one annotator. We have selected de union between annotations.</li> <li>852 articles were annotated by only one of the three selected annotators with better performance.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Test set:</strong> We provide a test set containing 491 abstracts from LILACS and IBECS.

REEC doesn't provide documents with the structure title/abstract needed in BioASQ, for that reason we have built artificial abstracts based on the content available in the data crawled using the REEC <a href="https://github.com/luisgasco/REECapi">API</a>. Clinical trials are not indexed with DeCS terminology, we have used as training data a set of 3560 clinical trials that were automatically annotated in the first edition of MESINESP and that were published as a <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/3946558#.YFHyhZ1KiUk">Silver Standard outcome</a>. Because the performance of the models used by the participants was variable, we have only selected predictions from runs with a MiF higher than 0.41, which corresponds with the submission of the best team. </li> <li><strong>Development set: </strong>We provide a development set manually indexed by expert annotators. This dataset includes 147 clinical trials annotated with DeCS by seven expert indexers in this controlled vocabulary.</li> <li><strong>Test set: </strong>The test dataset contains a collection of 248 items. We used this subset to evaluate the participating systems.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>[Subtrack 3] MESINESP-P – Patents: </strong> <ul> <li><strong>Development set: </strong>We provide a Development set manually indexed by expert annotators. This dataset includes 115 patents in Spanish extracted from Google Patents which have the IPC code “A61P” and “A61K31”. We have selected these patents based on semantic similarity to the MESINESP-L training set to facilitate model generation and to try to improve model performance.</li> <li><strong>Test set: </strong>We provide a <strong>test set</strong> containing 119 records that correspond to a subset of patents published in Spanish with the IPC codes “A61P” and “A61K31”.Similarly to the development set, we selected these records based on semantic similarity to the MESINESP-L training set.

Multilingual Medical Corpora
<p>The amount of digital data derived from healthcare processes have increased tremendously in the last years. This applies especially to unstructured data, which are often hard to analyze due to the lack of available tools to process and extract information. Natural language processing is often used in medicine, but the majority of tools used by researchers are developed primarily for the English language. For developing and testing natural language processing methods, it is important to have a suitable corpus, specific to the medical domain that covers the intended target language. To improve the potential of natural language processing research, we developed tools to derive language specific medical corpora from publicly available text sources. n order to extract medicine-specific unstructured text data, openly available pub-lications from biomedical journals were used in a four-step process:(1) medical journal databases were scraped to download the articles,(2) the articles were parsed and consolidated into a single repository,(3) the content of the repository was de-scribed, and (4) the text data and the codes were released. In total, 93 969 articles were retrieved, with a word count of 83 868 501 in three different languages (German, English, and Spanish) from two medical journal databases Our results show that unstructured text data extraction from openly available medical journal databases for the construction of unified corpora of medical text data can be achieved through web scraping techniques.</p>
