STEM-ECR-v1.0

Grounding Scientific Entity References in STEM Scholarly Content to Authoritative Encyclopedic and Lexicographic Sources

The STEM ECR v1.0 dataset has been developed to provide a benchmark for the evaluation of scientific entity extraction, classification, and resolution tasks in a domain-independent fashion. It comprises annotations for scientific entities in scientific Abstracts drawn from 10 disciplines in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Medicine. The annotated entities are further grounded to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, respectively.

What this repository contains?

The dataset is organized in the following folders:

  • Scientific Entity Annotations: Contains annotations for Process, Material, Method, and Data scientific entities in the STEM dataset.
  • Scientific Entity Resolution: Annotations for the STEM dataset scientific entities with Entity Linking (EL) annotations to Wikipedia and Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) annotations to Wiktionary.
