Abstract
AbstractThe scientific literature contains large amounts of information on genes, proteins, chemicals and their interactions. Extraction and integration of this information in curated knowledge bases help researchers support their experimental results, leading to new hypotheses and discoveries. This is especially relevant for precision medicine, which aims to understand the individual variability across patient groups in order to select the most appropriate treatments. Methods for improved retrieval and automatic relation extraction from biomedical literature are therefore required for collecting structured information from the growing number of published works. In this paper, we follow a deep learning approach for extracting mentions of chemical–protein interactions from biomedical articles, based on various enhancements over our participation in the BioCreative VI CHEMPROT task. A significant aspect of our best method is the use of a simple deep learning model together with a very narrow representation of the relation instances, using only up to 10 words from the shortest dependency path and the respective dependency edges. Bidirectional long short-term memory recurrent networks or convolutional neural networks are used to build the deep learning models. We report the results of several experiments and show that our best model is competitive with more complex sentence representations or network structures, achieving an F1-score of 0.6306 on the test set. The source code of our work, along with detailed statistics, is publicly available.
