Using Neural Networks for Relation Extraction from Biomedical Literature
Using different sources of information to support automated extracting of
relations between biomedical concepts contributes to the development of our
understanding of biological systems. The primary comprehensive source of these
relations is biomedical literature. Several relation extraction approaches have
been proposed to identify relations between concepts in biomedical literature,
namely, using neural networks algorithms. The use of multichannel architectures
composed of multiple data representations, as in deep neural networks, is
leading to state-of-the-art results. The right combination of data
representations can eventually lead us to even higher evaluation scores in
relation extraction tasks. Thus, biomedical ontologies play a fundamental role
by providing semantic and ancestry information about an entity. The
incorporation of biomedical ontologies has already been proved to enhance
previous state-of-the-art results.Comment: Artificial Neural Networks book (Springer) - Chapter 1
Multilabel Consensus Classification
In the era of big data, a large amount of noisy and incomplete data can be
collected from multiple sources for prediction tasks. Combining multiple models
or data sources helps to counteract the effects of low data quality and the
bias of any single model or data source, and thus can improve the robustness
and the performance of predictive models. Out of privacy, storage and bandwidth
considerations, in certain circumstances one has to combine the predictions
from multiple models or data sources to obtain the final predictions without
accessing the raw data. Consensus-based prediction combination algorithms are
effective for such situations. However, current research on prediction
combination focuses on the single label setting, where an instance can have one
and only one label. Nonetheless, data nowadays are usually multilabeled, such
that more than one label have to be predicted at the same time. Direct
applications of existing prediction combination methods to multilabel settings
can lead to degenerated performance. In this paper, we address the challenges
of combining predictions from multiple multilabel classifiers and propose two
novel algorithms, MLCM-r (MultiLabel Consensus Maximization for ranking) and
MLCM-a (MLCM for microAUC). These algorithms can capture label correlations
that are common in multilabel classifications, and optimize corresponding
performance metrics. Experimental results on popular multilabel classification
tasks verify the theoretical analysis and effectiveness of the proposed
methods
