| # 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](https://huggingface.co/datasets/grazh/synth-medic) 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. |
|

| ## Dataset Structure |
|
|
| ```python |
| { |
| "document_id": "cardiovascular_arterial hypertension_0", |
| "discharge_summary_en": "...", # English discharge summary |
| "discharge_summary_bg": "...", # Bulgarian translation |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Fields |
|
|
| - **document_id** (`string`): Unique identifier encoding specialty, condition, and document index (e.g. `neurology_ischemic stroke_12`). |
| - **discharge_summary_en** (`string`): Synthetic English discharge summary generated by GPT-4. |
| - **discharge_summary_bg** (`string`): Bulgarian translation produced by BGGpt. |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| ds = load_dataset("username/bgsynthmedic") |
| print(ds["train"][0]) |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Source Data |
| |
| English texts are derived from [SynthMedic](https://huggingface.co/datasets/grazh/synth-medic), a dataset of GPT-4-generated synthetic discharge summaries. |
| Bulgarian translations were produced using BGGpt and reviewed for quality. |
