Comparison of Syntactic Parsers on Biomedical Texts
This work addresses the need for effective syntactic parsing in biomedical text mining, but it is incremental as it compares existing methods without introducing new ones.
The paper evaluated the performance of multiple popular syntactic parsers on biomedical texts to determine their impact on recall and precision in text mining.
Syntactic parsing is an important step in the automated text analysis which aims at information extraction. Quality of the syntactic parsing determines to a large extent the recall and precision of the text mining results. In this paper we evaluate the performance of several popular syntactic parsers in application to the biomedical text mining.
