MedProcNER stands for MEDical PROCedure Named Entity Recognition. It is a shared task and set of resources focused on the detection, normalization and indexing of clinical procedures in medical documents in Spanish. MedProcNER is complementary to the DisTEMIST corpus (https://temu.bsc.es/distemist) as they both use the same document collection.

Overview of MedProcNER task on medical procedure detection and entity linking at BioASQ 2023. Working Notes of CLEF. 2023. @article{lima2023overview, title={Overview of MedProcNER task on medical procedure detection and entity linking at BioASQ 2023}, author={Lima-L{\'o}pez, Salvador and Farr{\'e}-Maduell, Eul{\`a}lia and Gasc{\'o}, Luis and Nentidis, Anastasios and Krithara, Anastasia and Katsimpras, Georgios and Paliouras, Georgios and Krallinger, Martin}, journal={Working Notes of CLEF}, year={2023} } This repository includes the Train Set of the task, which includes a total of 750 documents, plus the annotated Test Set's 250 documents. A gazetteer of possible SNOMED CT codes for the normalization and indexing tasks is also part of the bundle as a lexical resource. In addition, a cross-mapping file of all SNOMED CT codes to MeSH is also included. Finally, we release an experimental multilingual Silver Standard version derived from the Spanish Gold Standard in 9 languages: English, Catalan, Italian, French, Portuguese, Romanian, Czech, Dutch and Swedish. These documents have been generated using an automatic annotation transfer process that works as follows: The text files were translated with a neural machine translation system. The annotations were translated with the same neural machine translation system. The translated annotations were transferred to the translated text files using a lexical approach and custom dictionaries. MedProcNER was developed by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's NLP for Biomedical Information Analysis and used as part of BioASQ @ CLEF 2023.
