Abstract:

A large number of biomedical relation extraction methods, targeting for example protein-protein interactions (PPI), have been introduced in the preceding decade. However, the performance figures reported for these methods vary enormously, and results are largely incomparable across different studies. In this paper we study reasons leading to this situation and propose a solution to resolving them.
