Welcome to the repository for the Scientific Variable Extraction Dataset, as featured in our paper "A Dataset for Scientific Variable Extraction". This repository is structured to provide both the benchmark dataset and the corresponding evaluation results for various extraction approaches.
This dataset comprises paragraphs extracted from 20 research papers focused on pandemic studies. We engaged a domain expert to meticulously annotate the scientific variables present in these papers. Details about the list of papers and the annotation guidelines can be found in the benchmark folder.
The evaluation results for the different approaches tested—including conventional machine learning techniques, large language model-based solutions, and their integrations—are detailed in the evaluation folder. These results are formatted as JSON files for ease of use and integration into further analysis.
We hope this dataset serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners working on the extraction of scientific variables and enhances the understanding and application of machine learning in the domain of scientific research.
