Mutation Miner

The Organism Tagger System


Our open source OrganismTagger is a hybrid rule-based/machine-learning system that extracts organism mentions from the biomedical literature, normalizes them to their scientific name, and provides grounding to the NCBI Taxonomy database. Our pipeline provides the flexibility of annotating the species of particular interest to bio-engineers on different corpora, by optionally including detection of common names, acronyms, and strains. The OrganismTagger performance has been evaluated on two manually annotated corpora, OT and Linneaus. On the OT corpus, the OrganismTagger achieves a precision and recall of 95% and 94% and a grounding accuracy of 97.5%. On the manually annotated corpus of Linneaus-100, the results show a precision and recall of 99% and 97% and grounding with an accuracy of 97.4%. It is described in detail in our publication, Naderi, N., T. Kappler, C. J. O. Baker, and R. Witte, "OrganismTagger: Detection, normalization, and grounding of organism entities in biomedical documents", Bioinformatics: Oxford University Press, August 9, 2011.
