BGSynthMedic: Synthetic Parallel English–Bulgarian Discharge Summary Corpus
Parallel corpus of 450 synthetic discharge summaries in English and Bulgarian, covering 9 medical conditions across 4 specialties.
The English documents originate from SynthMedic and were automatically translated into Bulgarian and validated. The dataset is intended for research in clinical NLP, machine translation, and cross-lingual entity linking for low-resource languages.
