In this task participants designed systems to identify substrings in sentences corresponding to gene name mentions. A variety of different methods were used and the results varied with a highest achieved F1 score of 0.8721. Here we present brief descriptions of all the methods used and a statistical analysis of the results. We also demonstrate that, by combining the results from all submissions, an F score of 0.9066 is feasible, and furthermore that the best result makes use of the lowest scoring submissions.}, publisher = {BMC}, title = {Overview of BioCreative II gene mention recognition}, doi = {10.1186/gb-2008-9-S2-S2}, author = {Smith, Larry and Tanabe, Lorraine and Kuo, Cheng-Ju and Maña López, Manuel Jesús and Mata Vázquez, Jacinto}, }
