CollaboNet: collaboration of deep neural networks for biomedical named entity recognition

Understand

Background: Finding biomedical named entities is one of the most essential tasks in biomedical text mining.

• Recently, deep learning-based approaches have been applied to biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER) and showed promising results.
• However, as deep learning approaches need an abundant amount of training data, a lack of data can hinder performance.
• BioNER datasets are scarce resources and each dataset covers only a small subset of entity types.
