MedConclusion
MedConclusion is a large-scale dataset of 5.7M PubMed structured abstracts for biomedical conclusion generation. Each instance pairs the non-conclusion sections of an abstract with the original author-written conclusion, providing naturally occurring supervision for evidence-to-conclusion reasoning. MedConclusion also includes journal-level metadata such as biomedical category and SJR, enabling subgroup analysis across biomedical domains.
This repository contains the full version of the dataset. For faster evaluation and model prototyping, please check out the Compact Version.
- Train: 70%
