TEES 2.1: Automated Annotation Scheme Learning in the BioNLP 2013 Shared Task

Jari Björne, Tapio Salakoski
2013 Workshop on Biomedical Natural Language Processing  
We participate in the BioNLP 2013 Shared Task with Turku Event Extraction System (TEES) version 2.1. TEES is a support vector machine (SVM) based text mining system for the extraction of events and relations from natural language texts. In version 2.1 we introduce an automated annotation scheme learning system, which derives task-specific event rules and constraints from the training data, and uses these to automatically adapt the system for new corpora with no additional programming required.
