Supporting Resources - backup

The goal of the supporting resources for the BioNLP Shared Task 2016 is to provide the task participants with annotations from state-of-the-art automated tools in order to minimize the time-investment necessary to participate in the shared task and to allow for participants to experiment on how to leverage automated analyses provided by existing Natural Language Processing systems.

Resources and Formats

Available resources are listed below. Each resource is a file to be downloaded, it is the result of a tool (tools are presented) on the train and dev datasets.

POS Tagging

GENIA Tagger is a tool for part-of-speech tagging, shallow parsing, and named entity recognition for biomedical text. If you make use of the tagging from GENIA tagger, please cite: Tsuruoka, Y., Tateishi, Y., Kim, J. D., Ohta, T., McNaught, J., Ananiadou, S., & Tsujii, J. I. (2005).

Sentence Splitting & Tokenization

Sentence splitting and tokenization were performed using in-house tools developed at INRA as part of the AlvisNLP suite.

Data Visualization

BRAT is a tool for visualization of annotations. Manual annotations from the shared task corpora are provided in the BRAT format to enable participants to visualize the annotated corpora.
