Researchers create gold-standard data to train AI on COVID-19 medical texts

Scientists have built standardized reference datasets for training AI systems to read and interpret biomedical research on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. The work addresses a critical gap: without reliable training data, AI tools struggle to accurately extract information from medical literature—a problem that hampers drug discovery, clinical decision-making, and pandemic preparedness.
