RT Conference Proceedings T1 Combining Syntactic Information and Domain-Specific Lexical Patterns to Extract Drug-Drug Interactions from Biomedical Texts A1 Segura-Bedmar, Isabel A1 Martínez Fernández, Paloma A1 Pablo-Sánchez, César de AB A drug-drug interaction (DDI) occurs when one drug influences the level or activity of another drug. The increasing volume of the scientific literature overwhelms health care professionals trying to be kept up-to-date with all published studies on DDI. Information Extraction (IE) techniques can provide an interesting way of reducing the time spent by health care professionals on reviewing the literature. Nevertheless, no approach has been carried out to extract DDI from texts. To the best of our knowledge, this work proposes the first integral solution for the automatic extraction of DDI from biomedical texts.
