Abstract
Biomedical trigger word identification is a challenging task in biomedical text mining, which plays a key role in improving biomedical research and disease prevention. The traditional trigger word identification methods rely too much on the establishment of dictionaries or rules, which lead to poor performance. Aiming at the above problems, this paper puts forward a BERT-CRF model. In this model, BERT is used to train the emission matrix in CRF model. By using the transformer architecture of BERT, the language model, is used to train. By using CRF layer, some constraints can be added to ensure that the final prediction results are valid. The experimental results on MLEE data set show that the proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance with an F value of 82.71%, which indicates that this method is beneficial to improve the trigger word recognition performance.
