Abstract
Biological databases collect and standardize data through biocuration. Even though major model organism databases have adopted some automation of curation methods, a large portion of biocuration is still performed manually. To speed up the extraction of the genomic positions of variants, we have developed a hybrid approach that combines regular expressions, Named Entity Recognition based on BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and bag-of-words to extract variant genomic locations from C. elegans papers for WormBase. Our model has a precision of 82.59% for the gene-mutation matches tested on extracted text from 100 papers, and even recovers some data not discovered during manual curation.
