RT Journal Article T1 Overview of BioCreative II gene mention recognition A1 Smith, Larry A1 Tanabe, Lorraine A1 Kuo, Cheng-Ju A1 Maña López, Manuel Jesús A1 Mata Vázquez, Jacinto AB Nineteen teams presented results for the Gene Mention Task at the BioCreative II Workshop. In this taskparticipants designed systems to identify substrings in sentences corresponding to gene name mentions. Avariety 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 alsodemonstrate that, by combining the results from all submissions, an F score of 0.9066 is feasible, andfurthermore that the best result makes use of the lowest scoring submissions.
