BioNLP / JNLPBA Shared Task 2004

Overview

This page provides a brief summary of the BioNLP / JNLPBA Shared Task 2004 and links to its resources. Please see also the BioNLP / JNLPBA Shared Task 2004 home page.

The BioNLP / JNLPBA Shared Task 2004 involves the identification and classification of technical terms referring to concepts of interest to biologists in the domain of molecular biology. The task was organized by GENIA Project based on the annotations of the GENIA Term corpus (version 3.02). 

Corpus format

The JNLPBA corpus is distributed in IOB format, with each line containing a single token and its tag, separated by a tab character. Sentences are separated by blank lines.
