Abstract

This paper summarizes the Protein Coreference Resolution task of BioNLP Shared Task 2011. After 7 weeks of system development period, the task received final submissions from 6 teams. Evaluation results show that state-of-the-art performance on the task can find 22.18% of protein coreferences with the precision of 73.26%. Analysis of the submissions shows that several types of anaphoric expressions including definite expressions, which occupies a significant part of the problem, have not yet been solved.
