Abstract

In this paper we describe our approach to the BioNLP 2011 shared task on biomedical event extraction from abstracts and full papers. We employ a joint inference system developed using the search-based structured prediction framework and show that it improves on a pipeline using the same features and it is better able to handle the domain shift from abstracts to full papers. In addition, we report on experiments using a simple domain adaptation method.
