Abstract Background We report the Gene Normalization (GN) challenge in BioCreative III
where participating teams were asked to return a ranked list of identifiers of the genes …

Background To access and utilize the rich information contained in the biomedical literature,
the ability to recognize and normalize gene mentions referenced in the literature is crucial. In …

Abstract Background The Entity Linking (EL) task links entity mentions from an unstructured
document to entities in a knowledge base. Although this problem is well-studied in news and …

Researchers are finding it more and more difficult to follow the changing status of disease
candidate genes due to the exponential increase in gene map** studies. The Text-mined …

Linking named mentions detected in a source document to an existing knowledge base
provides disambiguated entity referents for the mentions. This allows better document …

As people have become more and more connected, there are certain scenarios where items
need to be recommended to groups of users rather than individual user, which motivate …

The rapidly increasing biomedical literature calls for the need of an automatic approach in
the recognition and normalization of disease mentions in order to increase the precision and …

The Entity Linking (EL) task links entity mentions from an unstructured document to entities
in a knowledge base. Although this problem is well-studied in news and social media, this …

Background DNA methylation is regarded as a potential biomarker in the diagnosis and
treatment of cancer. The relations between aberrant gene methylation and cancer …

Being motivated by combining the advantages of hyperplane-based pattern analysis and
fuzzy clustering techniques, we present in this paper a fuzzy mix-prototype (FMP) clustering …
