BioCreative

Last updated

BioCreAtIvE (A critical assessment of text mining methods in molecular biology) consists in a community-wide effort for evaluating information extraction and text mining developments in the biological domain. [1]

Contents

It was preceded by the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) Challenge Cup for detection of gene mentions. [2]

Community Challenges

First edition (2004-2005)

Three main tasks were posed at the first BioCreAtIvE challenge: the entity extraction task, [3] the gene name normalization task, [4] [5] and the functional annotation of gene products task. [6] The data sets produced by this contest serve as a Gold Standard training and test set to evaluate and train Bio-NER tools and annotation extraction tools.

Second edition (2006-2007)

The second BioCreAtIvE challenge (2006-2007) had also 3 tasks: detection of gene mentions, extraction of unique idenfiers for genes and extraction information related to physical protein-protein interactions. [7] It counted with participation of 44 teams from 13 countries. [7]

Third edition (2011-2012)

The third edition of BioCreative included for the first time the InterActive Task (IAT), designed to evaluate the practical usability of text mining tools in real-world biocuration tasks. [8] [9]

Fifth edition (2016)

BioCreative V had 5 different tracks, [10] including an interactive task (IAT) for usability of text mining systems [11] and a track using the BioC format for curating information for BioGRID. [12]
