“…Biomedical text mining is an important tool to support large-scale biomedical data analysis, such as biomedical network construction [Zhou et al, 2014], gene prioritization [Aerts et al, 2006, Liu et al, 2015, drug repositioning [Wang and Zhang, 2013], finding literature support of experimental findings [Morris et al, 2012, Willer et al, 2013, Fehrmann et al, 2015, generating hypothesis [Zhou et al, 2014, Al-Aamri et al, 2017, Rastegar-Mojarad et al, 2015 and database curation [Li et al, 2015]. The most fundamental task in biomedical text mining is biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER) that automatically recognizes and extracts biomedical entities (e.g., genes, proteins, chemicals and diseases) from text [Jensen et al, 2006, Rebholz-Schuhmann et al, 2012.…”
