Chemical name recognition with harmonized feature-rich conditional random fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a machine learning-based solution for automatic chemical and drug name recognition on scientific documents, which was applied in the BioCreative IV CHEMDNER task, namely in the chemical entity mention recognition (CEM) and the chemical document indexing (CDI) sub-tasks. The proposed approach applies conditional random fields with a rich feature set, including linguistic, orthographic, morphological, dictionary matching and local context (i.e., conjunctions) features. Post-processing modules are also integrated, performing parentheses correction and abbreviation resolution. In the end, heterogeneous CRF models are harmonized to generate improved annotations. The achieved performance results in the development set are encouraging, with F-scores of 83.71% on CEM and 82.05% on CDI.

Our team participated in the Chemical Compound and Drug Name Recognition task of BioCreative IV. We used a mixed conditional random fields with word clustering to fulfillment this task. For one hand, we generate the word feature by word clustering and train the corpus with word feature to get one model. On the other hand, the training corpus is transformed to a new one in the reversed order of ...

Named Entity Recognition is an information extraction technique that identifies name entities in a text. Three popular methods have been conventionally used namely: rule-based, machine-learning-based and hybrid of them to extract named entities from a text. Machine-learning-based methods have good performance in the Persian language if they are trained with good features. To get good performanc...

Chemical named entity recognition has traditionally been dominated by CRF (Conditional Random Fields)-based approaches but given the success of WKH DUWLILFLDO QHXUDO QHWZRUN WHFKQLTXHV NQRZQ DV 3GHHS OHDUQLQJ ́ Ze decided to examine them as an alternative to CRFs. We present here three systems. The first system translates the traditional CRF-based idioms into a deep learning framework, using ric...
