This paper proposes a novel approach to biomedical event extraction, leveraging the BERT pre-training model for n-ary relation extraction. The goal is to capture semantic information about an event’s context and participants by constructing Binding events. Unlike traditional pipelined approaches, this method directly models the complex relationships between entities in text. Experimental results on the GE11 and GE13 corpora of the BioNLP shared task show promising F1 scores of 63.14% and 59.40%, respectively. The proposed approach not only improves Binding event performance but also rivals joint learning methods, demonstrating its potential for pipelined event extraction.

Scientists are working on a new way to understand what’s happening in medical texts. They want to identify events, like a patient getting diagnosed or treated, and capture the important details about each event. The old way of doing this involved breaking down the process into smaller steps. But this new approach uses a special model called BERT to look at the text as a whole and find the relationships between different parts. By using this method, they were able to get good results on two big datasets of medical texts. This could help make it easier for computers to understand medical information in the future.
