About the directionality of the relations in BioREx and PubTator.

[jose-lopez]

Hello..

It is important for a study that we are conducting to be sure about the directionality of the relations in BioRex. Some of then are easy to see but we have doubts about some of them,

Below the way we are interpreting the directionality of the relations, reading what you describe in the tutorial in the PubTator's website. We don´t know if the directionality makes sense when we consider the way BioREx was trained.

Thanks in advance.

Jose.

Hi @jose-lopez ,

Thank you for your interest in our project. We have extended the BioRED corpus to include directionality; please refer to https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/41/Supplement_1/i68/8199369?login=false
for details. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, and sorry for the late reply.
