Detect Genes/Proteins (BC2GM) in Medical Texts

Description

Named Entity recognition annotator allows for a generic model to be trained by utilizing a deep learning algorithm (Char CNNs - BiLSTM - CRF - word embeddings) inspired on a former state of the art model for NER: Chiu & Nicols, Named Entity Recognition with Bidirectional LSTM,CNN.

This model has been trained to extract genes/proteins from a medical text.

Created by Smith et al. at 2008, the BioCreative II Gene Mention Recognition (BC2GM) Dataset contains data where participants are asked to identify a gene mention in a sentence by giving its start and end characters. The training set consists of a set of sentences, and for each sentence a set of gene mentions (GENE annotations).
