# CasiMedicos-Arg: A Medical Question Answering Dataset Annotated with Explanatory Argumentative Structures

[CasiMedicos-Arg](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HiTZ/casimedicos-arg) is, to the best of our knowledge, the first 
multilingual dataset for Medical Question Answering where correct and incorrect diagnoses for a clinical case are 
enriched with a natural language explanation written by doctors. 
The [casimedicos-exp](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HiTZ/casimedicos-exp) have been manually annotated with 
argument components (i.e., premise, claim) and argument relations (i.e., attack, support). 
Thus, Multilingual CasiMedicos-arg dataset consists of 558 clinical cases (English, Spanish, French, Italian) with explanations,
where we annotated 5021 claims, 2313 premises, 2431 support relations, and 1106 attack relations.
