Readings for Biomedical Annotators
About This Project
- The Variation Tagger. A
summary description of the variation tagger being developed here in
the oncology domain. (Jan. '04, HTML, ~2pp.) These advances in
technology will be of great value for the entire information
extraction field.

Summary of the ITR/E oncology
work: Paper submitted to HLT/NAACL
2004 (Human Language Technology conference / North American
chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics annual
meeting). (Jan. '04, PDF, 8pp.)
Pete White writes: "This manuscript has been submitted to
[this workshop]. It is our information extraction group's latest
summary of our work and thus represents the best current overall
perspective of the project."

White, a biologist on the project team, recommended some
introductory readings to acquaint annotators with the background of
the domain and the texts we're working on.

Dr. Dalal Zakhary, our Lead Annotator, pointed me to an article on
Cytochrome P450s in

Dr. Nelson seems to do a lot of research on
CYP450s.
