### Dataset Summary

S800 Corpus: a novel abstract-based manually annotated corpus. S800 comprises 800 PubMed abstracts in which organism mentions were identified and mapped to the corresponding NCBI Taxonomy identifiers.

To increase the corpus taxonomic mention diversity the S800 abstracts were collected by selecting 100 abstracts from the following 8 categories: bacteriology, botany, entomology, medicine, mycology, protistology, virology and zoology. S800 has been annotated with a focus at the species level; however, higher taxa mentions (such as genera, families and orders) have also been considered.


The Species-800 dataset was pre-processed and split based on the dataset of Pyysalo (https://github.com/spyysalo/s800).

```

### Data Fields

- `id`: Sentence identifier.  
- `tokens`: Array of tokens composing a sentence.  
- `ner_tags`: Array of tags, where `0` indicates no species mentioned, `1` signals the first token of a species and `2` the subsequent tokens of the species.
