DDI Corpus

The DDI Extraction corpus has been downloaded from its official GitHub repository DDICorpus.

The file ./ddi_corpus.zip contains the train and test splits of the DDI corpus with the necessary directory structure to apply preprocessing steps. If you decide to download the corpus yourself, make sure to rename the folders to match the following directory structure

interactive-relation-extraction/
    data/
        ddi/
            train/
                DrugBank/
                MedLine/

            test/
                ner/
                    DrugBank/
                    MedLine/
                re/
                    DrugBank/
                    MedLine/
        ...

where the DrugBank/ and MedLine/ subfolders contain the .xml files.
