Abstract

We present a small set of attachment heuristics for postnominal PPs occurring in full-text articles related to enzymes. A detailed analysis of the results suggests their utility for extraction of relations expressed by nominalizations (often with several attached PPs). The system achieves 82% accuracy on a manually annotated test corpus of over 3000 PPs from varied biomedical texts.
