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.

Data Driven Techniques for Organizing Scientific Articles Relevant to Biomimicry

TL;DR: The approach to assembling a system that uses machine learning techniques to assess a scientific article's potential usefulness to innovators, and classifies these articles in a way that helps innovators find information relevant to the challenges they are attempting to solve is discussed.

A Semi-automatic and low-cost method to learn patterns for named entity recognition

TL;DR: A semi-automatic method to generate both regular expressions and a subset of the JAPE language that employs active learning and combines clustering with an algorithm that finds alignments between symbols present in the entities discovered during the learning process.

Biomedical entity extraction using machine-learning based approaches

TL;DR: It was shown that the use of external features (unsupervised clusters, information from ontology and taxonomy) improved the results significantly, and machine-learning approaches outperformed knowledge-based techniques on categories where sufficient annotated data was available.

Bacteria Biotope Relation Extraction via Lexical Chains and Dependency Graphs

TL;DR: A novel approach for dependency graph construction based on lexical chains, so one dependency graph can represent one or multiple sentences, and a neural network model which consists of the bidirectional long short-term memories and an attention graph convolution neural network to learn relation extraction features from the graph is proposed.

Overview of BioNLP'09 Shared Task on Event Extraction

TL;DR: The design and implementation of the BioNLP'09 Shared Task is presented, indicating that state-of-the-art performance is approaching a practically applicable level and revealing some remaining challenges.

Performance measures for information extraction

TL;DR: An error measure is defined, the slot error rate, which combines the different types of error directly, without having to resort to precision and recall as preliminary measures.

PANTHER Pathway: An Ontology-Based Pathway Database Coupled with Data Analysis Tools

TL;DR: This chapter first discusses how biological knowledge is represented, particularly the importance of ontologies or standards in systems biology research, and uses PANTHER Pathway as an example to illustrate how ontologies and standards play a role in data modeling, data entry, and data display.

Evaluating temporal relations in clinical text: 2012 i2b2 Challenge.

TL;DR: A corpus of discharge summaries annotated with temporal information was provided to be used for the development and evaluation of temporal reasoning systems, and the best systems overwhelmingly adopted a rule based approach for value normalization.
