Benchmarking biomedical text mining web servers at BioCreative V.5: the technical Interoperability and Performance of annotation Servers - TIPS track
The TIPS track consisted in a novel experimental task under the umbrella
of the BioCreative text mining challenges with the aim to, for the first time
ever, carry out a text mining challenge with particular focus on the continuous
assessment of technical aspects of text annotation web servers, specifically of
biomedical online named entity recognition systems.
A total of 13 teams registered annotation servers, implemented in various programming
languages, supporting up to 12 different general annotation types. The
continuous evaluation period took place from February to March 2017. The systematic
and continuous evaluation of server responses accounted for testing periods
of low activity and moderate to high activity. Moreover three document
provider settings were covered, including also NCBI PubMed. For a total of
4,092,502 requests, the median response time for most servers was below 3.74 s
with a median of 10 annotations/document. Most of the servers showed great
reliability and stability, being able to process 100,000 requests in 5 days.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
