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.

Relieving the Computational Bottleneck: Joint Inference for Event Extraction with High-Dimensional Features

TL;DR: A new model for event extraction is proposed that combines the power of MLNs and SVMs, dwarfing their limitations; the key idea is to reliably learn and process high-dimensional features using SVMs; encode the output of SVMs as low-dimensional, soft formulas in MLNs; and use the superior joint inferencing power ofMLNs to enforce joint consistency constraints over the soft formulas.

Large-scale automated machine reading discovers new cancer-driving mechanisms.

TL;DR: Reaching, a system for automated, large-scale machine reading of biomedical papers that can extract mechanistic descriptions of biological processes with relatively high precision at high throughput, demonstrates that combining the extracted pathway fragments with existing biological data analysis algorithms helps identify and explain a large number of previously unidentified mutually exclusive altered signaling pathways in seven different cancer types.

Biomedical Event Extraction based on Knowledge-driven Tree-LSTM

TL;DR: A novel knowledge base (KB)-driven tree-structured long short-term memory networks (Tree-LSTM) framework is proposed, incorporating two new types of features: dependency structures to capture wide contexts and entity properties from external ontologies via entity linking.

Coarse-to-Fine n-Best Parsing and MaxEnt Discriminative Reranking

TL;DR: This paper describes a simple yet novel method for constructing sets of 50- best parses based on a coarse-to-fine generative parser that generates 50-best lists that are of substantially higher quality than previously obtainable.

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.
