Frequently Asked Questions
Are the sentences sorted manually?
Yes, each sentence in a summary is annotated according to its function (objective, method, result, conclusion), which facilitates supervised learning.
Is it suitable for use with BERT models?
Absolutely. It is even a very good dataset for fine-tuning BERT or BioBERT models for sequential classification tasks.
Can it be used for other languages?
The data is in English, but manual or automatic translation can allow the corpus to be adapted multilingual.
