### Dataset

#### Description
The merged dataset utilized in this project combines four distinct annotated datasets, all based on the Spanish Clinical Case Corpus ([SPACCC](https://zenodo.org/records/2560316)), a compilation of clinical case reports from Spanish medical publications. This merged dataset encompasses a total of 16,504 sentences across 1,000 clinical cases. The dataset focuses on identifying various medical entities within clinical narratives, including **symptoms**, medical **procedures**, **diseases**, **proteins**, and **chemicals**. 

The dataset is further provided on [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/records/11174163), and construction is detailed in our [GitHub](https://github.com/ieeta-pt/Multi-Head-CRF/) repository.

In order to use this dataset, the [documents](https://huggingface.co/datasets/IEETA/SPACCC-documents) are also provided.

#### Origin
The constituent datasets include:
- **[SympTEMIST](https://zenodo.org/records/10635215)**: Designed for symptom, signs, and findings annotations, contributing 12,193 annotations.
- **[MedProcNER](https://zenodo.org/records/8224056)**: Focused on medical procedure identification with 14,683 instances.
- **[DisTEMIST](https://zenodo.org/records/7614764)**: Targeting disease identification, containing 10,663 annotations.
- **[PharmaCoNER](https://zenodo.org/records/4270158)**: Primarily for identifying chemicals and proteins, with 7,624 entities.

#### Annotations and Classes
The annotations are normalized to SNOMED CT, ensuring consistency across datasets. Classes include symptoms, procedures, diseases, proteins, and chemicals. Intra-class overlapping entities are addressed, ensuring model training on the longest span.

#### Statistics
The dataset is split into training and test sets, with consistent splits across corpora. For detailed statistics, refer to Table 1 and Table 2 below.

#### Use Case
The dataset serves as a resource for training and evaluating models for medical entity recognition and normalization tasks in Spanish clinical text.
