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.

FoodBase corpus: a new resource of annotated food entities.

TL;DR: A new annotated corpus of food entities, named FoodBase, was developed using recipes extracted from Allrecipes, which is currently the largest food-focused social network and is necessary for developing corpus-based NER models for food science, as a new benchmark dataset for machine learning tasks such as multi-class classification, multi-label classification and hierarchical multi- label classification.

BELMiner: adapting a rule-based relation extraction system to extract biological expression language statements from bio-medical literature evidence sentences

TL;DR: This work tested the ability of a rule-based semantic parser to extract Biological Expression Language statements from evidence sentences culled out of biomedical literature as part of BioCreative V Track4 challenge and found a marked improvement by over 20% in the overall performance of the BELMiner’s capability to extract BEL statement on the test set.

Using word embedding for bio-event extraction

TL;DR: By using bag-ofwords (BOW) features as the baseline, the result has been improved by the introduction of word-embedding features, and is comparable to the state-of-the-art solution.

A semi-supervised learning framework for biomedical event extraction based on hidden topics

TL;DR: By incorporating un-annotated data, the proposed framework indeed improves the performance of the state-of-the-art event extraction system and the similarity between sentences might be precisely described by hidden topics and structures of the sentences.

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.
