Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we present the experiments we made to process entities from the biomedical domain. Depending on the task to process, we used two distinct supervised machine-learning techniques: Conditional Random Fields to perform both named entity identification and classification, and Maximum Entropy to classify given entities. Machine-learning approaches outperformed knowledge-based techniques on categories where sufficient annotated data was available. We showed that the use of external features (unsupervised clusters, information from ontology and taxonomy) improved the results significantly.
