Non-technical Summaries (NTS) of Animal Experiments Indexed with ICD-10 Codes (Version 1.0)

Dataset containing 8,386 non-technical summaries (NTS) of animal experiments recently carried out in Germany (as of September 19, 2018) and originally on-line available at the AnimalTestInfo database (http://animaltestinfo.de). Each NTS contains a title, uses (goals) of the experiments, possible harms caused to the animals, and comments about replacement, reduction and refinement (in the scope of the 3R principles). All documents are in the German language. The dataset includes the ICD-10 codes manually assigned by experts to the NTS. However, some NTSs have no ICD-10 codes assigned to them, as the codes were not applicable to the uses described in the NTS. All codes are chapters or groups from the ICD-10 German Modification 2016 version (https://www.dimdi.de/static/de/klassifikationen/icd/icd-10-gm/kode-suche/htmlgm2016/). Finally, the dataset is split into training and development datasets which are meant to be used in the CLEF eHealth 2019, Task 1 - Multilingual Information Extraction (https://sites.google.com/view/clefehealth2019/task-1-multilingual-information-extraction-icd10-coding).
