Extracting experimental parameter entities from scientific articles.

Systematic reviews are labor-intensive processes to combine all knowledge about a given topic into a coherent summary. Despite the high labor investment, they are necessary to create an exhaustive overview of current evidence relevant to a research question. In this work, we evaluate three state-of-the-art supervised multi-label sequence classification systems to automatically identify 24 different experimental design factors for the categories of Animal, Dose, Exposure, and Endpoint from journal articles describing the experiments related to toxicity and health effects of environmental agents.

Identifying Chemical Reactions and Their Associated Attributes in Patents.

Chemical patents are an essential source of information about novel chemicals and chemical reactions. However, with the increasing volume of such patents, mining information about these chemicals and chemical reactions has become a time-intensive and laborious endeavor. In this study, we present a system to extract chemical reaction events from patents automatically.

Analysis of Inter-Domain and Cross-Domain Drug Review Polarity Classification.

Individuals increasingly rely on social media to discuss health-related issues. One way to provide easier access to relevant in- formation is through sentiment analysis - classifying text into polarity classes such as positive and negative. In this paper, we generated freely available datasets of WebMD.
