Why it matters
Fills a gap in biomedical NLP for rare diseases, enabling evaluation of fine-grained and discontinuous entity extraction under low-resource conditions.
Motivation
Prion diseases are rare, rapidly progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative disorders that remain difficult to diagnose, particularly in their early stages because of nonspecific clinical presentations.
Primary resources
Benchmark Radar records only publicly supported details and links back to primary sources for verification.
