Dataset Card for LLL05

The LLL05 challenge task is to learn rules to extract protein/gene interactions from biology abstracts from the Medline bibliography database. The goal of the challenge is to test the ability of the participating IE systems to identify the interactions and the gene/proteins that interact. The participants will test their IE patterns on a test set with the aim of extracting the correct agent and target.The challenge focuses on information extraction of gene interactions in Bacillus subtilis. Extracting gene interaction is the most popular event IE task in biology. Bacillus subtilis (Bs) is a model bacterium and many papers have been published on direct gene interactions involved in sporulation. The gene interactions are generally mentioned in the abstract and the full text of the paper is not needed. Extracting gene interaction means, extracting the agent (proteins) and the target (genes) of all couples of genic interactions from sentences.
