Yapex performance

The table describes the performance of the current version, February 2003, of the Yapex protein name tagger. The results are obtained by evaluating Yapex on the Yapex Test Collection of MEDLINE abstracts using six different notions of correctness. More information on these notions and on how Yapex works can be found in the publications listed on the project home page.
