UEM-UC3M: An Ontology-based named entity recognition system for biomedical texts

Proceedings of: International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation. SemEval-2013 : Semantic Evaluation Exercises. Took place in 2013 June, 14-15, in Atlanta, Georgia (USA). The event Web site in http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/semeval-2013/Drug name entity recognition focuses on identifying concepts appearing in the text that correspond to a chemical substance used in pharmacology for treatment, cure, prevention or diagnosis of diseases. This paper describes a system based on ontologies for identifying the chemical substances in biomedical text. The system achieves an F-1 measure of 0.529 in the task.This work has been funded by MA2VICMR project (S2009/TIC-1542) and MULTIMEDICA project12 (TIN 2010-20644-C03-01).Publicad
