# AbstRCT argument-component spans

Major claim, claim and premise argument-component spans in MEDLINE randomized-controlled-trial (RCT) abstracts
(Mayer, Cabrio and Villata, ECAI 2020), expert-annotated with the brat tool (two annotators, adjudicated). Every
context is the full abstract, not an isolated sentence: whether a sentence is a claim or a premise is judged
against the rest of the abstract, which a per-sentence view would strip away.

Data-only mirror of the [original brat distribution](https://gitlab.com/tomaye/abstrct) (revision
`f856f1ca7514caa4094194b5623e84c159d9bf1d`, archive SHA256 `32150598d2e9`). Reproduce with
[scripts/repackage_dataset/abstrct_spans.py](https://github.com/sileod/tasksource/blob/main/scripts/repackage_dataset/abstrct_spans.py);
[provenance.json](provenance.json) records the archive hash, revision, native abstract counts and settings.

Schema: `context` (the abstract), `question`, `answers` (`text`, `answer_start`: every span, not alternatives) and
JSON-string `metadata` (`field` is one of `major_claim`, `claim`, `premise`; `group` is `{config}:{PMID}`).
Every field is always asked; an abstract with none of a kind answers with null. Used by the `extraction` config of
[tasksource-jev-typed-decisions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tasksource/tasksource-jev-typed-decisions)
(`neoplasm` config, as `abstrct/neoplasm`).

`neoplasm` has the native train/dev/test split used for training. `glaucoma` and `mixed` are test-only
cross-domain transfer sets (no training abstracts) and are evaluation-only.
