Dataset Card for BioLang

Dataset Summary

BioLang is a dataset is based on abstracts from the open access section of EuropePubMed Central to train language models in the domain of biology. The dataset can be used for random masked language modeling or for language modeling using only specific part-of-speech maksing. More details on generation and use of the dataset at https://github.com/source-data/soda-roberta .

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The dataset was assembled to train language models in the field of cell and molecular biology. To expand the size of the dataset and to include many examples with highly technical language, abstracts were complemented with figure legends (or figure 'captions').

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The xml content of papers were downloaded in January 2021 from the open access section of EuropePMC. Figure legends and abstracts were extracted from the JATS XML, tokenized with the roberta-base tokenizer and part-of-speech tagged with Spacy's en_core_web_sm model (https://spacy.io).

Who are the source language producers?

Experts scientists.

Annotations

Annotation process

Part-of-speech was tagged automatically.

Who are the annotators?

Spacy's en_core_web_sm model (https://spacy.io) was used for part-of-speech tagging.
