Abstract

In recent years, Deep Learning (DL) models are becoming important due to their demon- strated success at overcoming complex learning problems. DL models have been applied ef- fectively for different Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks such as part-of-Speech (PoS) tagging and Machine Translation (MT). Disease Named Entity Recognition (Disease-NER) is a crucial task which aims at extracting disease Named Entities (NEs) from text. In this paper, a DL model for Disease-NER using dictionary information is proposed and evaluated on Na- tional Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) disease corpus and BC5CDR dataset. Word embeddings trained over general domain texts as well as biomedical texts have been used to represent input to the proposed model. This study also compares two different Segment Rep- resentation (SR) schemes, namely IOB2 and IOBES for Disease-NER. The results illustrate that using dictionary information, pre-trained word embeddings, character embeddings and CRF with global score improves the performance of Disease-NER system.
