Events classification - Biotech news

A dataset specifically tailored to the biotech news sector, aiming to transcend the limitations of existing benchmarks. This dataset is rich in complex content, comprising various biotech news articles covering various events, thus providing a more nuanced view of information extraction challenges.

A standout feature of our dataset is its dual-layered approach: it not only identifies the general theme of the articles but also extracts specific information about the target companies involved. This dual focus significantly elevates the dataset’s relevance for applications demanding a deeper insight into the interplay of events, companies, and the broader biotech industry.

The dataset encompasses 31 classes, including a ‘None’ category, to cover various events and information types such as event organisation, executive statements, regulatory approvals, hiring announcements, and more.
