Abstract
Protein named entity identification is one of the most essential and fundamental predecessor for extracting information about protein-protein interactions from biomedical literature. In this paper, we explore the use of abstracts of biomedical literature in MEDLINE for protein name identification and present the results of the conducted experiments. We present a robust and effective approach to classify biomedical named entities into protein and non-protein classes, based on a rich set of features: orthographic, keyword, morphological and newly introduced Protein-Score features. Our procedure shows significant performance in the experiments on GENIA corpus using Random Forest, achieving the highest values of precision 92.7%, recall 91.7%, and F-measure 92.2% for protein identification, while reducing the training and testing time significantly.
