Finding Anchor Verbs for Biomedical IE Using Predicate-Argument Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
For biomedical information extraction, most systems use syntactic patterns on verbs (anchor verbs) and their arguments. Anchor verbs can be selected by focusing on their arguments. We propose to use predicate-argument structures (PASs), which are outputs of a full parser, to obtain verbs and their arguments. In this paper, we evaluated PAS method by comparing it to a method using part of speech (POSs) pattern matching. POS patterns produced larger results with incorrect arguments, and the results will cause adverse effects on a phase selecting appropriate verbs.

Using Predicate-Argument Structures for Information Extraction
In this paper we present a novel, customizable IE paradigm that takes advantage of predicate-argument structures. We also introduce a new way of automatically identifying predicate argument structures, which is central to our IE paradigm. It is based on: (1) an extended set of features; and (2) inductive decision tree learning. The experimental results prove our claim that accurate predicate-ar...
متن کاملAcquisition of English Unergative and Unaccusative Structures by Persian EFL Learners
The acquisition of argument structures has been studied by a variety of second language acquisition scholars within the past two decades (Atay, 2010; Can, 2009; Chay, 2006, & Kras, 2007, among others). In the present study, ‘Predicate’ as the most substantial element of a sentence is investigated. There are three English verb-types which seem to be more problematic for Persian EFL learners: (a)...
متن کاملUtilizing Various Natural Language Processing Techniques for Biomedical Interaction Extraction
The vast number of biomedical literature is an important source of biomedical interaction information discovery. However, it is complicated to obtain interaction information from them because most of them are not easily readable by machine. In this paper, we present a method for extracting biomedical interaction information assuming that the biomedical Named Entities (NEs) are already identifie...
متن کاملQuestion and Answering System based on Predicate-Argument Matching
This paper presents a Question and Answering system based on predicate-argument matching. Predicate-argument structures are utilized to capture more semantics in questions than a set of keywords. In addition to the predicate-argument matching, relation type matching is also used to handle expressions which are not mediated by verbs.

In this paper, we construct a biomedical semantic role labeling (SRL) system that can be used to facilitate relation extraction. First, we construct a proposition bank on top of the popular biomedical GENIA treebank following the PropBank annotation scheme. We only annotate the predicate-argument structures (PAS’s) of thirty frequently used biomedical predicates and their corresponding argument...
