# ClinText-SP Dataset Card
## Dataset Description
**ClinText-SP** is the largest publicly available Spanish clinical corpus designed to support research in clinical natural language processing. It aggregates a rich collection of clinical texts from diverse open sources, including medical journals, annotated corpora from shared tasks, and supplementary sources like Wikipedia and medical textbooks.
The dataset contains:
- **35,996 samples** with an average of ~700 tokens per sample
- **Approximately 25.62M tokens** in total
ClinText-SP offers a balanced mix of long, well-structured clinical case reports and shorter, schematic texts, making it ideal for a variety of clinical NLP tasks.
## Data Sources
The corpus is built from three primary source types:
- **Medical Journals:** Clinical case reports from specialized Spanish-language journals.
- **Annotated Corpora:** Datasets from shared tasks.
- **Other Sources:** Additional clinical knowledge extracted from Wikipedia and select medical textbooks to complement the dataset.
## Data Preprocessing
- **Cleaning & Extraction:** Texts were parsed and cleaned from PDFs, HTMLs, and other formats. Extraneous formatting, HTML artifacts, and non-essential metadata (e.g., author names) were removed.
- **Customized Strategies:** Specific regex-based heuristics and LLM-assisted methods (using Qwen2.5) were employed to accurately extract clinical case information.
- **Deduplication & Language Filtering:** Fuzzy deduplication (using MinHash) ensured unique entries, and non-Spanish texts were removed using Python Langdetect.
## Intended Use
ClinText-SP is ideal for:
- **Training and Benchmarking:** Facilitating the development of Spanish clinical NLP models, including encoder-based models such as [RigoBERTa Clinical](https://huggingface.co/IIC/RigoBERTa-Clinical).
- **Domain-Adaptive Pretraining:** Serving as a robust resource for adapting language models to the clinical domain.
- **Research and Application:** Advancing clinical language understanding and supporting applications in healthcare AI.
## Limitations and Biases
- **Biases:** The dataset may reflect biases inherent to the selected sources and may not cover every clinical specialty.
- **Coverage:** While comprehensive, the dataset might not fully encapsulate the entirety of clinical nuances across all medical fields.
- **Data Quality:** Variations in data quality exist due to the diversity of sources and extraction methods.
