# Dataset Card for BioRelEx

## Dataset Description

- **Homepage:** https://github.com/YerevaNN/BioRelEx
- **Pubmed:** True
- **Public:** True
- **Tasks:** NER,NED,RE,COREF


BioRelEx is a biological relation extraction dataset. Version 1.0 contains 2010
annotated sentences that describe binding interactions between various
biological entities (proteins, chemicals, etc.). 1405 sentences are for
training, another 201 sentences are for validation. They are publicly available
at https://github.com/YerevaNN/BioRelEx/releases. Another 404 sentences are for
testing which are kept private for at this Codalab competition
https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20468. All sentences contain words
"bind", "bound" or "binding". For every sentence we provide: 1) Complete
annotations of all biological entities that appear in the sentence 2) Entity
types (32 types) and grounding information for most of the proteins and families
(links to uniprot, interpro and other databases) 3) Coreference between entities
in the same sentence (e.g. abbreviations and synonyms) 4) Binding interactions
between the annotated entities 5) Binding interaction types: positive, negative
(A does not bind B) and neutral (A may bind to B)
