During the last decade, biomedicine has witnessed a tremendous development. Large
amounts of experimental and computational biomedical data have been generated along …

This article surveys efforts on text mining of the pharmacogenomics literature, mainly from
the period 2008 to 2011. Pharmacogenomics (or pharmacogenetics) is the field that studies …

Background A drug-drug interaction (DDI) occurs when one drug influences the level or
activity of another drug. The increasing volume of the scientific literature overwhelms health …

Background Interest is growing in the application of syntactic parsers to natural language
processing problems in biology, but assessing their performance is difficult because …

We address the problem of multi-way relation classification, applied to identification of the
interactions between proteins in bioscience text. A major impediment to such work is the …

Protein–protein interactions play a key role in various aspects of the structural and functional
organization of the cell. Knowledge about them unveils the molecular mechanisms of …

In this paper we address the relation learning problem in the biomedical domain. We
propose a representation which takes into account the syntactic information and allows for …

Background The healthy as well as dysbiotic state of an ecosystem like human body is
known to be influenced not only by the presence of the bacterial groups in it, but also with …

Motivation: The promises of the post-genome era disease-related discoveries and advances
have yet to be fully realized, with many opportunities for discovery hiding in the millions of …

Motivation: In an infectious disease, the pathogen's strategy to enter the host organism and
breach its immune defenses often involves interactions between the host and pathogen …
