A relation extraction toolkit for biomedical text mining

Project description

PyPI Release Travis CI status Coverage status Documentation status MIT license

Kindred is a package for relation extraction in biomedical texts. Given some training data, it can build a model to identify relations between entities (e.g. drugs, genes, etc) in a sentence.

Installation

You can install “kindred” via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install kindred

As of v2, Kindred relies on the Spacy toolkit for parsing. After installing kindred (which also installs spacy), you will need to install a Spacy language model. For instance, the command below installs the english language model:

$ python -m spacy download en

Usage

Check out the tutorial that goes through a simple use case of extracting capital cities from text. More details and the full documentation can be found at readthedocs.

BioNLP Shared Task Example

>>> import kindred
>>> trainCorpus = kindred.bionlpst.load('2016-BB3-event-train')
>>> devCorpus = kindred.bionlpst.load('2016-BB3-event-dev')
>>> predictionCorpus = devCorpus.clone()
>>> predictionCorpus.removeRelations()
>>> classifier = kindred.RelationClassifier()
>>> classifier.train(trainCorpus)
>>> classifier.predict(predictionCorpus)
>>> f1score = kindred.evaluate(devCorpus, predictionCorpus, metric='f1score')

PubAnnotation Example

>>> corpus = kindred.pubannotation.load('bionlp-st-gro-2013-development')

PubTator Example

>>> corpus = kindred.pubtator.load([19894120,19894121])

Input Formats

Kindred can load several formats, including BioNLP Shared Task, JSON, BioC XML and a simple tag format. Check out the file format documentation for example data and code.
