Recognition of genetic mutations in text using deep learning

Abstract

Deep learning is a sub-area of automatic learning that attempts to model complex structures in the data through the application of different neural network architectures with multiple layers of processing. These methods have been successfully applied in areas ranging from image recognition and classification, natural language processing, and bioinformatics. In this work we intend to create methods for named-entity recognition (NER) in text using techniques of deep learning in order to identify genetic mutations.
