Overview of BioNLP Shared Task 2013

TLDR
The BioNLP Shared Task 2013 shows advances in the state of the art and demonstrates that extraction methods can be successfully generalized in various aspects.
Abstract
The BioNLP Shared Task 2013 is the third edition of the BioNLP Shared Task series that is a community-wide effort to address fine-grained, structural information extraction from biomedical literature. The BioNLP Shared Task 2013 was held from January to April 2013. Six main tasks were proposed. 38 final submissions were received, from 22 teams. The results show advances in the state of the art and demonstrate that extraction methods can be successfully generalized in various aspects.

Using text mining techniques to extract phenotypic information from the PhenoCHF corpus

TL;DR: PhenoCHF is the first annotated corpus aimed at encoding detailed phenotypic information, and the unique heterogeneous composition of the corpus has been shown to be advantageous in the training of systems that can accurately extract phenotypes from a range of different text types.

CrossNER: Evaluating Cross-Domain Named Entity Recognition

TL;DR: Results show that focusing on the fractional corpus containing domain-specialized entities and utilizing a more challenging pre-training strategy in domain-adaptive pre- training are beneficial for the NER domain adaptation, and the proposed method can consistently outperform existing cross-domain NER baselines.
