چکیده

We explore a rule-based methodology for the BioNLP’09 Shared Task on Event Extraction, using dependency parsing as the underlying principle for extracting and characterizing events. We approach the speculation and negation detection task with the same principle. Evaluation results demonstrate the utility of this syntax-based approach and point out some shortcomings that need to be addressed in future work.

Effective Bio-Event Extraction Using Trigger Words and Syntactic Dependencies

The scientific literature is the main source for comprehensive, up-to-date biological knowledge. Automatic extraction of this knowledge facilitates core biological tasks, such as database curation and knowledge discovery. We present here a linguistically inspired, rule-based and syntax-driven methodology for biological event extraction. We rely on a dictionary of trigger words to detect and cha...

Feature extraction in opinion mining through Persian reviews

Opinion mining deals with an analysis of user reviews for extracting their opinions, sentiments and demands in a specific area, which can play an important role in making major decisions in such area. In general, opinion mining extracts user reviews at three levels of document, sentence and feature. Opinion mining at the feature level is taken into consideration more than the other two levels d...

Leveraging Dependency Regularization for Event Extraction

Event Extraction (EE) is a challenging Information Extraction task which aims to discover event triggers with specific types and their arguments. Most recent research on Event Extraction relies on pattern-based or feature-based approaches, trained on annotated corpora, to recognize combinations of event triggers, arguments, and other contextual information. These combinations may each appear in...

Evaluating the Impact of Alternative Dependency Graph Encodings on Solving Event Extraction Tasks

In state-of-the-art approaches to information extraction (IE), dependency graphs constitute the fundamental data structure for syntactic structuring and subsequent knowledge elicitation from natural language documents. The top-performing systems in the BioNLP 2009 Shared Task on Event Extraction all shared the idea to use dependency structures generated by a variety of parsers — either directly...

UZH in BioNLP 2013

We describe a biological event detection method implemented for the Genia Event Extraction task of BioNLP 2013. The method relies on syntactic dependency relations provided by a general NLP pipeline, supported by statistics derived from Maximum Entropy models for candidate trigger words, for potential arguments, and for argument frames.
