Resumo |
Named entity recognition (NER) is an essential step in the process of information extraction within text mining. This paper proposes a technique to extract drug named entities from unstructured and informal medical text using a hybrid model of lexicon-based and rule-based techniques. In the proposed model, a lexicon is first used as the initial step to detect drug named entities. Inference rules are then deployed to further extract undetected drug names. The designed rules employ part of speech tags and morphological features for drug name detection. The proposed hybrid model is evaluated using a benchmark data set from the i2b2 2009 medication challenge, and is able to achieve an f-score of 66.97%. |
