BioCreAtIvE (A critical assessment of text mining methods in molecular biology) consists in a community-wide effort for evaluating information extraction and text mining developments in the biological domain.
|
|
It was preceded by the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) Challenge Cup for detection of gene mentions.
|
|
|

|
|
== Community Challenges ==
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== First edition (2004-2005) ===
|
|
Three main tasks were posed at the first BioCreAtIvE challenge: the entity extraction task, the gene name normalization task, and the functional annotation of gene products task. The data sets produced by this contest serve as a Gold Standard training and test set to evaluate and train Bio-NER tools and annotation extraction tools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Second edition (2006-2007) ===
|
|
The second BioCreAtIvE challenge (2006-2007) had also 3 tasks: detection of gene mentions, extraction of unique idenfiers for genes and extraction information related to physical protein-protein interactions. It counted with participation of 44 teams from 13 countries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Third edition (2011-2012) ===
|
|
The third edition of BioCreative included for the first time the InterActive Task (IAT), designed to evaluate the practical usability of text mining tools in real-world biocuration tasks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Fifth edition (2016) ===
|
|
BioCreative V had 5 different tracks, including an interactive task (IAT) for usability of text mining systems and a track using the BioC format for curating information for BioGRID.
