### Dataset Summary
This PLOD Dataset is an English-language dataset of abbreviations and their long-forms tagged in text. The dataset has been collected for research from the PLOS journals indexing of abbreviations and long-forms in the text. This dataset was created to support the Natural Language Processing task of abbreviation detection and covers the scientific domain.
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
This dataset primarily supports the Abbreviation Detection Task. It has also been tested on a train+dev split provided by the Acronym Detection Shared Task organized as a part of the Scientific Document Understanding (SDU) workshop at AAAI 2022.
### Languages
English
## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
A typical data point comprises an ID, a set of `tokens` present in the text, a set of `pos_tags` for the corresponding tokens obtained via Spacy NER, and a set of `ner_tags` which are limited to `AC` for `Acronym` and `LF` for `long-forms`.
An example from the dataset:
{'id': '1',
'tokens': ['Study', '-', 'specific', 'risk', 'ratios', '(', 'RRs', ')', 'and', 'mean', 'BW', 'differences', 'were', 'calculated', 'using', 'linear', 'and', 'log', '-', 'binomial', 'regression', 'models', 'controlling', 'for', 'confounding', 'using', 'inverse', 'probability', 'of', 'treatment', 'weights', '(', 'IPTW', ')', 'truncated', 'at', 'the', '1st', 'and', '99th', 'percentiles', '.'],
'pos_tags': [8, 13, 0, 8, 8, 13, 12, 13, 5, 0, 12, 8, 3, 16, 16, 0, 5, 0, 13, 0, 8, 8, 16, 1, 8, 16, 0, 8, 1, 8, 8, 13, 12, 13, 16, 1, 6, 0, 5, 0, 8, 13],
'ner_tags': [0, 0, 0, 3, 4, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
}
### Data Fields
- id: the row identifier for the dataset point.
- tokens: The tokens contained in the text.
- pos_tags: the Part-of-Speech tags obtained for the corresponding token above from Spacy NER.
- ner_tags: The tags for abbreviations and long-forms.

### Installation
We use the custom NER pipeline in the [spaCy transformers](https://spacy.io/universe/project/spacy-transformers) library to train our models. This library supports training via any pre-trained language models available at the :rocket: [HuggingFace repository](https://huggingface.co./).
Please see the instructions at these websites to setup your own custom training with our dataset to reproduce the experiments using Spacy.
OR
However, you can also reproduce the experiments via the Python notebook we [provide here](https://github.com/surrey-nlp/PLOD-AbbreviationDetection/blob/main/nbs/fine_tuning_abbr_det.ipynb) which uses HuggingFace Trainer class to perform the same experiments. The exact hyperparameters can be obtained from the models readme cards linked below. Before starting, please perform the following steps:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/surrey-nlp/PLOD-AbbreviationDetection
cd PLOD-AbbreviationDetection
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Now, you can use the notebook to reproduce the experiments.
### Model(s)
