A Linear Classifier Based on Entity Recognition Tools and a Statistical Approach to Method Extraction in the Protein-Protein Interaction Literature". BMC Bioinformatics 2011, 12(Suppl 8):S12. doi: 10.1186/1471-2105-12-S8-S12.
We participated (as Team 81) in the Article Classification (ACT) and Interaction Method (IMT) subtasks of the Protein-Protein Interaction task of the Biocreative III Challenge. For the ACT we pursued an extensive testing of available Named Entity Recognition (NER) tools, and used the most promising ones to extend our the Variable Trigonometric Threshold (VTT) linear classifier we successfully used in BioCreativ...
