Title: Enzymatic glucose biosensor based on ZnO nanorod array grown by hydrothermal decomposition
Abstract: We report herein a glucose biosensor based on glucose oxidase (GOx) immobilized on ZnO nanorod array grown by hydrothermal decomposition. In a phosphate buffer solution with a pH value of 7.4, negatively charged GOx was immobilized on positively charged ZnO nanorods through electrostatic interaction. At an applied potential of +0.8V versus Ag∕AgCl reference electrode, ZnO nanorods based biosensor presented a high and reproducible sensitivity of 23.1μAcm−2mM−1 with a response time of less than 5s. The biosensor shows a linear range from 0.01to3.45mM and an experiment limit of detection of 0.01mM. An apparent Michaelis-Menten constant of 2.9mM shows a high affinity between glucose and GOx immobilized on ZnO nanorods.

Title: An Overview of the Active Gene Annotation Corpus and the BioNLP OST 2019 AGAC Track Tasks
Abstract: The active gene annotation corpus (AGAC) was developed to support knowledge discovery for drug repurposing. Based on the corpus, the AGAC track of the BioNLP Open Shared Tasks 2019 was organized, to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration across BioNLP and Pharmacoinformatics communities, for drug repurposing. The AGAC track consists of three subtasks: 1) named entity recognition, 2) thematic relation extraction, and 3) loss of function (LOF) / gain of function (GOF) topic classification. The AGAC track was participated by five teams, of which the performance are compared and analyzed. The the results revealed a substantial room for improvement in the design of the task, which we analyzed in terms of “imbalanced data”, “selective annotation” and “latent topic annotation”.

Title: An empirical evaluation of resources for the identification of diseases and adverse effects in biomedical literature
Abstract: The mentions of human health perturbations such as the diseases and adverse effects denote a special entity class in the biomedical literature. They help in understanding the underlying risk factors and develop a preventive rationale. The recognition of these named entities in texts through dictionary-based approaches relies on the availability of appropriate terminological resources. Although few resources are publicly available, not all are suitable for the text mining needs. Therefore, this work provides an overview of the well known resources with respect to human diseases and adverse effects such as the MeSH, MedDRA, ICD-10, SNOMED CT, and UMLS. Individual dictionaries are generated from these resources and their performance in recognizing the named entities is evaluated over a manually annotated corpus. In addition, the steps for curating the dictionaries, rule-based acronym disambiguation and their impact on the dictionary performance is discussed. The results show that the MedDRA and UMLS achieve the best recall. Besides this, MedDRA provides an additional benefit of achieving a higher precision. The combination of search results of all the dictionaries achieve a considerably high recall. The corpus is available on http://www.scai.fraunhofer.de/disease-ae-corpus.html

Title: Named Entity Recognition for Astronomy Literature
Abstract: We present a system for named entity recognition (ner) in astronomy journal articles. We have developed this system on a ne corpus comprising approximately 200,000 words of text from astronomy articles. These have been manually annotated with ∼40 entity types of interest to astronomers. We report on the challenges involved in extracting the corpus, defining entity classes and annotating scientific text. We investigate which features of an existing state-of-the-art Maximum Entropy approach perform well on astronomy text. Our system achieves an F-score of 87.8%.

Title: Named Entity Recognition for Bacterial Type IV Secretion Systems
Abstract: Research on specialized biological systems is often hampered by a lack of consistent terminology, especially across species. In bacterial Type IV secretion systems genes within one set of orthologs may have over a dozen different names. Classifying research publications based on biological processes, cellular components, molecular functions, and microorganism species should improve the precision and recall of literature searches allowing researchers to keep up with the exponentially growing literature, through resources such as the Pathosystems Resource Integration Center (PATRIC, patricbrc.org). We developed named entity recognition (NER) tools for four entities related to Type IV secretion systems: 1) bacteria names, 2) biological processes, 3) molecular functions, and 4) cellular components. These four entities are important to pathogenesis and virulence research but have received less attention than other entities, e.g., genes and proteins. Based on an annotated corpus, large domain terminological resources, and machine learning techniques, we developed recognizers for these entities. High accuracy rates (>80%) are achieved for bacteria, biological processes, and molecular function. Contrastive experiments highlighted the effectiveness of alternate recognition strategies; results of term extraction on contrasting document sets demonstrated the utility of these classes for identifying T4SS-related documents.

Title: BioCreative V track 4: a shared task for the extraction of causal network information using the Biological Expression Language
Abstract: Automatic extraction of biological network information is one of the most desired and most complex tasks in biological and medical text mining. Track 4 at BioCreative V attempts to approach this complexity using fragments of large-scale manually curated biological networks, represented in Biological Expression Language (BEL), as training and test data. BEL is an advanced knowledge representation format which has been designed to be both human readable and machine processable. The specific goal of track 4 was to evaluate text mining systems capable of automatically constructing BEL statements from given evidence text, and of retrieving evidence text for given BEL statements. Given the complexity of the task, we designed an evaluation methodology which gives credit to partially correct statements. We identified various levels of information expressed by BEL statements, such as entities, functions, relations, and introduced an evaluation framework which rewards systems capable of delivering useful BEL fragments at each of these levels. The aim of this evaluation method is to help identify the characteristics of the systems which, if combined, would be most useful for achieving the overall goal of automatically constructing causal biological networks from text.

Title: Overview of the CHEMDNER patents task
Abstract: A considerable effort has been made to extract biological and chemical entities, as well as their relationships, from the scientific literature, either manually through traditional literature curation or by using information extraction and text mining technologies. Medicinal chemistry patents contain a wealth of information, for instance to uncover potential biomarkers that might play a role in cancer treatment and prognosis. However, current biomedical annotation databases do not cover such information, partly due to limitations of publicly available biomedical patent mining software. As part of the BioCreative V CHEMDNER patents track, we present the results of the first named entity recognition (NER) assignment carried out to detect mentions of chemical compounds and genes/proteins in running patent text. More specifically, this task aimed to evaluate the performance of automatic name recognition strategies capable of isolating chemical names and gene and gene product mentions from surrounding text within patent titles and abstracts. A total of 22 unique teams submitted results for at least one of the three CHEMDNER subtasks. The first subtask, called the CEMP (chemical entity mention in patents) task, focused on the detection of chemical named entity mentions in patents, requesting teams to return the start and end indices corresponding to all the chemical entities found in a given record. A total of 21 teams submitted 93 runs, for this subtask. The top performing team reached an f-measure of 0.89 with a precision of 0.87 and a recall of 0.91. The CPD (chemical passage detection) task required the classification of patent titles and abstracts whether they do or do not contain chemical compound mentions. Nine teams returned predictions for this task (40 runs). The top run in terms of Matthew’s correlation coefficient (MCC) had a score of 0.88, the highest sensitivity ? Corresponding author

Title: Overview of the NLM-Chem BioCreative VII track: Full-text Chemical Identification and Indexing in PubMed articles
Abstract: The BioCreative NLM-Chem track calls for a community effort to fine-tune automated recognition of chemical names in biomedical literature. Chemical names are one of the most searched biomedical entities in PubMed and – as highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic – their identification may significantly advance research in multiple biomedical subfields. While previous community challenges focused on identifying chemical names mentioned in titles and abstracts, the full text contains valuable additional detail. We organized the BioCreative NLM-Chem track to call for a community effort to address automated chemical entity recognition in full-text articles. The track consisted of two tasks: 1) Chemical Identification task, and 2) Chemical Indexing prediction task. For the Chemical Identification task, participants were expected to predict with high accuracy all chemicals mentioned in recently published full-text articles, both span (i.e., named entity recognition) and normalization (i.e., entity linking) using MeSH. For the Chemical Indexing task, participants identified which chemicals should be indexed as topics for the article's topic terms in the NLM article and indexing, i.e., appear in the listing of MeSH terms for the document. This manuscript summarizes the BioCreative NLM-Chem track. We received a total of 88 submissions in total from 17 teams worldwide. The highest performance achieved for the Chemical Identification task was 0.8672 f-score (0.8759 precision, 0.8587 recall) for strict NER performance and 0.8136 f-score (0.8621 precision, 0.7702 recall) for strict normalization performance. The highest performance achieved for the Chemical Indexing task was 0.4825 f-score (0.4397 precision, 0.5344 recall). The NLM-Chem track dataset and other challenge materials are publicly available at https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/lu/BC7-NLM-Chem-track/. This community challenge demonstrated 1) the current substantial achievements in deep learning technologies can be utilized to further improve automated prediction accuracy, and 2) the Chemical Indexing task is substantially more challenging. We look forward to further development of biomedical text mining methods to respond to the rapid growth of biomedical literature.

Title: Assessing the state of the art in biomedical relation extraction: overview of the BioCreative V chemical-disease relation (CDR) task
Abstract: Manually curating chemicals, diseases and their relationships is significantly important to biomedical research, but it is plagued by its high cost and the rapid growth of the biomedical literature. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing computational approaches for automatic chemical-disease relation (CDR) extraction. Despite these attempts, the lack of a comprehensive benchmarking dataset has limited the comparison of different techniques in order to assess and advance the current state-of-the-art. To this end, we organized a challenge task through BioCreative V to automatically extract CDRs from the literature. We designed two challenge tasks: disease named entity recognition (DNER) and chemical-induced disease (CID) relation extraction. To assist system development and assessment, we created a large annotated text corpus that consisted of human annotations of chemicals, diseases and their interactions from 1500 PubMed articles. 34 teams worldwide participated in the CDR task: 16 (DNER) and 18 (CID). The best systems achieved an F-score of 86.46% for the DNER task—a result that approaches the human inter-annotator agreement (0.8875)—and an F-score of 57.03% for the CID task, the highest results ever reported for such tasks. When combining team results via machine learning, the ensemble system was able to further improve over the best team results by achieving 88.89% and 62.80% in F-score for the DNER and CID task, respectively. Additionally, another novel aspect of our evaluation is to test each participating system’s ability to return real-time results: the average response time for each team’s DNER and CID web service systems were 5.6 and 9.3 s, respectively. Most teams used hybrid systems for their submissions based on machining learning. Given the level of participation and results, we found our task to be successful in engaging the text-mining research community, producing a large annotated corpus and improving the results of automatic disease recognition and CDR extraction.

Title: SPECTER: Document-level Representation Learning using Citation-informed Transformers
Abstract: Representation learning is a critical ingredient for natural language processing systems. Recent Transformer language models like BERT learn powerful textual representations, but these models are targeted towards token- and sentence-level training objectives and do not leverage information on inter-document relatedness, which limits their document-level representation power. For applications on scientific documents, such as classification and recommendation, accurate embeddings of documents are a necessity. We propose SPECTER, a new method to generate document-level embedding of scientific papers based on pretraining a Transformer language model on a powerful signal of document-level relatedness: the citation graph. Unlike existing pretrained language models, Specter can be easily applied to downstream applications without task-specific fine-tuning. Additionally, to encourage further research on document-level models, we introduce SciDocs, a new evaluation benchmark consisting of seven document-level tasks ranging from citation prediction, to document classification and recommendation. We show that Specter outperforms a variety of competitive baselines on the benchmark.

Title: The ACL RD-TEC 2.0: A Language Resource for Evaluating Term Extraction and Entity Recognition Methods
Abstract: This paper introduces the ACL Reference Dataset for Terminology Extraction and Classification, version 2.0 (ACL RD-TEC 2.0). The ACL RD-TEC 2.0 has been developed with the aim of providing a benchmark for the evaluation of term and entity recognition tasks based on specialised text from the computational linguistics domain. This release of the corpus consists of 300 abstracts from articles in the ACL Anthology Reference Corpus, published between 1978–2006. In these abstracts, terms (i.e., single or multi-word lexical units with a specialised meaning) are manually annotated. In addition to their boundaries in running text, annotated terms are classified into one of the seven categories method, tool, language resource (LR), LR product, model, measures and measurements, and other. To assess the quality of the annotations and to determine the difficulty of this annotation task, more than 171 of the abstracts are annotated twice, independently, by each of the two annotators. In total, 6,818 terms are identified and annotated in more than 1300 sentences, resulting in a specialised vocabulary made of 3,318 lexical forms, mapped to 3,471 concepts. We explain the development of the annotation guidelines and discuss some of the challenges we encountered in this annotation task.

Title: Named Entity Recognition with Bidirectional LSTM-CNNs
Abstract: Named entity recognition is a challenging task that has traditionally required large amounts of knowledge in the form of feature engineering and lexicons to achieve high performance. In this paper, we present a novel neural network architecture that automatically detects word- and character-level features using a hybrid bidirectional LSTM and CNN architecture, eliminating the need for most feature engineering. We also propose a novel method of encoding partial lexicon matches in neural networks and compare it to existing approaches. Extensive evaluation shows that, given only tokenized text and publicly available word embeddings, our system is competitive on the CoNLL-2003 dataset and surpasses the previously reported state of the art performance on the OntoNotes 5.0 dataset by 2.13 F1 points. By using two lexicons constructed from publicly-available sources, we establish new state of the art performance with an F1 score of 91.62 on CoNLL-2003 and 86.28 on OntoNotes, surpassing systems that employ heavy feature engineering, proprietary lexicons, and rich entity linking information.
