A Specialised Verb Lexicon as the Basis of Fact Extraction in the Biomedical Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
The BioLexicon is a standardised, reusable, lexical and conceptual resource suitable for advanced biomedical text mining. One of the unique features of the BioLexicon is the incorporation of rich syntactic and semantic patterns for a wide range of domain-relevant verbs, which have been acquired semiautomatically from biomedical corpora. Such types of information can be highly beneficial for information and fact extraction applications. In this paper, we describe the collection of the verb-specific information for inclusion in the BioLexicon, and explain how it is being employed in a specific scenario (the UKPMC project) to leverage fact-based information extraction on a large collection of biomedical papers.

As the use of language in specialized domains, such as biology, can be very different to the general domain, there is a need for domain-specific resources to ensure that the information extracted is as accurate as possible. We are building a large-scale lexical resou...
