Measuring the State of the Art of Automated Pathway Curation Using Graph Algorithms - A Case Study of the mTOR Pathway

摘要

This paper evaluates the difference between human pathway curation and current NLP systems. We propose graph analysis methods for quantifying the gap between human curated pathway maps and the output of state-of-the-art automatic NLP systems. Evaluation is performed on the popular mTOR pathway. Based on analyzing where current systems perform well and where they fail, we identify possible avenues for progress.
