“…Previously, we have built an experimental record management system to analyze the results of experiments related to the development of nanocrystal devices [12]. Using pattern-mining techniques on this system, we found that different sets of parameters were used to form the same layer structure.…”

The process of nanocrystal device development is not well systematized. To support this process, analysis of the information produced by developmental experiments is required. In this study, we constructed an annotated corpus to support the extraction of experimental information from relevant publications. We designed the corpus-construction guidelines by cooperating with a domain expert. We evaluated these guidelines through corpusconstruction experiments with graduate students from this domain, and then evaluated the corpus with the domain expert. In the corpus construction experiments, we achieved a sufficient level of Inter-Annotator Agreement by using a loose agreement measure that ignored the term-boundary mismatch problem, and made an agreement corpus that excluded annotations based on misunderstanding the guidelines. The domain expert evaluated this agreement corpus and modified the guidelines based on real examples. Using these guidelines, we finalized the corpus called "NaDev" (Nanocrystal Device development corpus). The NaDev corpus and its construction guidelines will be released via our website, http://nanoinfo.ist.hokudai.ac.jp/. The NaDev corpus aims to support automatic information extraction from publications relevant to nanocrystal device development. This information can be used to solve problems in the nanotechnology domain using the massive availability of fresh information. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first corpus constructed for the development of nanocrystal devices.

“…Nanoinformatics is the science and practice of determining which information is relevant to the nanoscale science and engineering community, and then developing and implementing effective mechanisms for collecting, validating, storing, sharing, analyzing, modeling, and applying this information (De la Iglesia et al 2011). In order to support nanodevice development process, we have been working on a project that aims at analyzing the experiment results related to nanodevice development to provide insights for nanodevice novice researchers to help them planning their experiments more effectively (Yoshioka et al 2010). In this project, we have proposed a framework to annotate useful information from research papers related to nanodevice development (e.g., source material, evaluation parameter, and so on), and use them for analyzing experiment results (Dieb et al 2011).…”

In utilizing nanodevice development research papers to assist in experimental planning and design, it is useful to identify and annotate characteristic categories of information contained in those papers such as source material, evaluation parameter, etc. In order to support this annotation process, we have been working to construct a nanodevice development corpus and a complementary automatic annotation scheme. Due to the variations of terms, however, recall of the automatic annotation in some information categories was not adequate. In this paper, we propose to use a basic physical quantities list to extract parameter information. We confirmed the efficiency of this method to improve the annotation of parameters. Recall for parameters increases between 4% and 7% depending on the type of parameter and analysis metric.
