| Challenge: | In 2015 alone, about 100 manuscripts describing randomized controlled trials for medical interventions were published every day. |
| Approach: | They propose a corpus of 5,000 medical articles annotated with demarcations of text spans that describe the Patient population enrolled, the Interventions studied and to what they were Compared, and the Outcomes measured. |
