Most natural language processing applications exhibit a trade-off between precision and recall. In some use cases for natural language processing, there are reasons to prefer to tilt that trade-off toward high precision. Relying on the Zipfian distri...
MOTIVATION: The extraction of sequence variants from the literature remains an important task. Existing methods primarily target standard (ST) mutation mentions (e.g. 'E6V'), leaving relevant mentions natural language (NL) largely untapped (e.g. 'glu...

This paper investigates how to extract probability statements from academic medical papers. In previous work we have explored traditional classification methods which led to numerous false negatives. This current work focuses on constraining classifi...
Constructing interaction network from biomedical texts is a very important and interesting work. The authors take advantage of text mining and reinforcement learning approaches to establish protein interaction network. Considering the high computatio...
