Comprehensive Named Entity Recognition on CORD-19 with Distant or Weak Supervision

Wang, Xuan, Song, Xiangchen, Li, Bangzheng et al.

Understand

We created this CORD-NER dataset with comprehensive named entity recognition (NER) on the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge (CORD-19) corpus (2020-03-13).

  • This CORD-NER dataset covers 75 fine-grained entity types: In addition to the common biomedical entity types (e.g., genes, chemicals and diseases), it covers many new entity types related explicitly to the COVID-19 studies (e.g., coronaviruses, viral proteins, evolution, materials, substrates and immune responses), which may benefit research on COVID-19 related virus, spreading mechanisms, and potential vaccines.
  • CORD-NER annotation is a combination of four sources with different NER methods.
  • The quality of CORD-NER annotation surpasses SciSpacy (over 10% higher on the F1 score based on a sample set of documents), a fully supervised BioNER tool.
