Abstract

We introduce a supervised approach for extracting bio-molecular events by using linguistic features that represent the contexts of the candidate event triggers and participants. We use Support Vector Machines as our learning algorithm and train separate models for event types that are described with a single theme participant, multiple theme participants, or a theme and a cause participant. We perform experiments with linear kernel and edit-distance based kernel and report our results on the BioNLP'09 Shared Task test data set.
