ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for recognizing biological named entity from biological literature based on united medical language system (UMLS). The apparatus and the method receives metathesaurus from the UMLS, constructs a concept name database, a single name database and a category keyterm database, which are language resources to be used recognize a named entity, receives each concept name stored in the concept name database, extracts features of each of the concept names by using data stored in the single name database and the category keyterm database, constructs a rule database by creating rules used to recognize the named entity and filtering the rules by using the extracted features, receives a biological literature, extracts nouns and noun phrases that are candidate named entities, applies the rules stored in the rule database to the nouns and the noun phrases, and recognizes the named entities. In the present invention, the biological named entities can be effectively extracted which can be used as important information individual in input literature.
