“…CharaParser+EQ can be categorized as a semi-automated text annotation tool. Many text annotation tools have been developed in the past; some of them are primarily concerned with named entity recognition in general (Cunningham et al, 2013;Maynard et al, 2005;Popov et al, 2004) while others address specific applications (Gao, 2013;Rahman, 2012;Soo, 2004 ). In biology, the BioCreative Workshops evaluate systems that extract a variety of entities and associations, including gene mentions, normalized human gene/products (gene/products to Gene Ontology terms), protein-protein interaction, diseases, chemicals, gene and disease associations (Arighi, 2013;Hirschman 2005;Krallinger 2008;Leitner 2010).…”
