Medical Relation Detection Dataset in DIEBOLDS.
This data is used in our AAAI 2016 paper (Distant IE by Bootstrapping Using Lists and Document Structure)
for extracting 8 relations (such as sideEffects and riskFactors) in biomedical documents.
[PDF].
The data in this release
has four parts: input corpora, Freebase seeds, labeled evaluation data, and BioASQ
queries.

Medical Entity Detection Dataset in DIEL.
This data is used in our EMNLP 2015 paper, with title "Improving Distant
Supervision for Information Extraction Using Label Propagation Through
Lists" [PDF].
The Freebase seeds are extracted from a snapshot in 2014-04, and
the bipartite graph and features are processed from a corpus downloaded
from dailymed.nlm.nih.gov which contains 28,590 XML documents.
Feel free to contact the authors for any unclear issue, and please cite our

Datasets for semi-structured data record detection.
The first dataset, named TWEB_TB2, has 200 pages. The pages are static Web pages collected from different online shopping and university Web sites.
The second dataset, named TWEB_TB3, has 100 pages. The pages mainly contain complicated flat data records and intertwined data records.
These two datasets were generated along with the paper "Lidong Bing, Wai Lam, and Tak-Lam Wong. Robust Detection of Semi-structured Web Records Using DOM Structure Knowledge Driven Model [PDF]. ACM Transactions on the Web (TWEB)". More details about the datasets can be found in the paper.
