Query selection methods for automated corpora construction with a use case in food-drug interactions

Georgeta Bordea, Tsanta Randriatsitohaina, Fleur Mougin, Natalia Grabar, Thierry Hamon


Abstract
In this paper, we address the problem of automatically constructing a relevant corpus of scientific articles about food-drug interactions. There is a growing number of scientific publications that describe food-drug interactions but currently building a high-coverage corpus that can be used for information extraction purposes is not trivial. We investigate several methods for automating the query selection process using an expert-curated corpus of food-drug interactions. Our experiments show that index term features along with a decision tree classifier are the best approach for this task and that feature selection approaches and in particular gain ratio outperform frequency-based methods for query selection.
