MultiClinSum Dataset: Summarization of Clinical Case Reports in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese

MultiClinSum Shared Task Dataset

MultiClinSum is a shared task about the automatic summarization of clinical case reports in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese held as part of the BioASQ workshop at CLEF 2025. The task relies on a corpus of manually selected full clinical case reports and their corresponding clinical case report summaries derived from case report publications written in the previously mentioned languages. In addition, participants are allowed to use any other data source available online as long as they report it.

This version of the data contains the sample set: a small subset of 20 full-text documents and their summaries in English meant to be used as a sample of the data that will be used in the task. Both the full-texts and their summaries are .txt documents in UTF-8. They are separated in different folders and each pair have an almost identical filename, with the summaries having the suffix "_sum".
