    Protein name tagging for biomedical annotation in text

    by Kaoru Yamamoto, Taku Kudo, Akihiko Konagaya, Yuji Matsumoto

    We explore the use of morphological analysis as preprocessing for protein name tagging. Our method finds protein names by chunking based on a morpheme, the smallest unit determined by the morphological analysis. This helps to recognize the exact boundaries of protein names. Moreover, our morphological analyzer can deal with compounds. This offers a simple way to adapt name descriptions from biomedical resources for language processing. Using GENIA corpus 3.01, our method attains f-score of 70 points for protein molecule names, and 75 points for protein names including molecules, families and domains.
