Abstract

Chemical-induced disease relations (CID) are crucial in various biomedical tasks. In the CID task of Biocreative V, no classifiers with multiple kernels have been developed. In this study, a multiple kernel learning-boosting (MKLB) method is proposed. Different kernel functions according to different types of features were constucted and boosted, each of which were learned with multiple kernels. Our multiple kernel learning-boosting (MKLB) method achieved a F1 score of 0.5068 without incorporating knowledge bases.
