Hi Saranya, thanks for your interest in our work!
We downloaded UMLS2017AA's MRCONSO file and extracted the CUI-name pairs in the following form:

C0079564||htlv-ii rex protein
C0162999||oleoylamine
C0347197||benign mouth neoplasm
...

In the end, there should be around 7.4M individual lines (after deleting duplicated lines) and around 3.4M individual concepts (CUIs) in the dictionary file. Hope this helps!

Best,
Fangyu
