Identifying chemical-disease relations (CDR) from biomedical literature could improve chemical safety and toxicity studies. This paper proposes a Shortest Dependency Path Tree (SDPT) to capture the most direct syntactic and semantic relationship between chemical and disease. Based on SDPT, structured dependency features (SDF), structured phrase features (SPF) and flattened dependency features (...

This paper describes our approach to participate on SemEval2016 Task12: Clinical TempEval. Our system was based on IBEnt, a framework to identify chemical entities and their relations in text using machine learning techniques. This system has two modules, one to identify chemical entities, and other to identify the pairs of entities that represent a chemical interaction in the same text. In thi...

stroke scales can be classified as clinicometric scales and functional impairment, handicap scales. all studies describing stroke scales were reviewed by internet searching engines with the final search performed on january 1, 2013. the following string of keywords was entered into search engines; stroke, scale, score and disability. despite advantages of modified national institute of health s...

Glycans are chains of monosaccharides also known as oligosaccharides. Since glycans consist of monosaccharides having multiple hydroxyl groups which bind with potentially multiple other monosaccharides, glycans have very complicated structures compared to nucleic acid or protein sequences. The complexity is complicated further by various glycosidic linkage patterns which vary according to anome...

Propensity Scores When treated patients are compared to controls, differing outcomes may reflect either effects caused by the treatment or differences in prognosis before treatment. Random assignment of patients to treatment or control, as in a randomized, controlled clinical trial (1), ensures that the groups were comparable before treatment and the prognosis in treated and control groups was ...

The significant amount of medicinal chemistry information contained in patents make them an attractive target for text mining. The CHEMDNER task at BioCreative V focused on information extraction from patents. This manuscript describes our submissions to the CEMP (chemical named entity recognition) and GPRO (gene and related object identification) subtasks. Our CEMP submission is an ensemble of...
