CellFinder - text mining resources
| The CellFinder project aims to establishing a central stem cell data repository, by utilizing and interlinking existing public databases regarding defined areas of human pluripotent stem cell research. |
|
| An important source of knowledge are published research results. Text mining methods are being employed to extract knowledge from this scientific literature, which will be further made available in our on-line repository. Here we present the resources that have been derived from the text mining experiments. | |
CellFinder corpus
Version 1.0:
The first version of our corpus is composed of 10 full text documents containing more than 2,100 sentences, 65,000 tokens and 5,200 annotations for entities. The corpus has been annotated with six types of entities (anatomical parts, cell components, cell lines, cell types, genes/protein and species) with an overall inter-annotator agreement around 80%.
The corpus can be visualized from our repository of corpora and it can be downloaded in its full text version and split by sections in the standoff format used by Brat annotation tool and in the XML format used in (Pyysalo et. al 2008).
- Brat stand-off format: full text and split by sections
- XML format: full text and split by sections
