New framework diagnoses biomedical NER and EL benchmark properties

Researchers have developed a new framework to analyze the properties of annotated corpora used in biomedical Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Entity Linking (EL) benchmarks. This corpus-centric approach systematically examines statistics related to scale, label distribution, lexical structure, train-test overlap, and metadata composition. Applying this framework to nine different corpora revealed significant variations in their properties, suggesting that standard corpus statistics may not fully capture what these benchmarks evaluate.

    What Do Biomedical NER and Entity Linking Benchmarks Measure? A Corpus-Centric Diagnostic Framework

    Biomedical named entity recognition (NER) and entity linking (EL) strongly depend on annotated corpora, but the utility of these resources for benchmarking is often assumed rather than characterized. We present a corpus-centric framework for diagnosing benchmark-relevant properti…
