Automatically extracting information from biomedical text holds the promise of easily consolidating large amounts of biological knowledge in computer accessible form. We are investigating the use of information extraction techniques for processing biomedical text. Currently, we have focused on the initial stage of identifying information on interacting proteins, specifically the problem of recognizin protein and gene names with high precision. We present preliminary results on extracting protein names from Medline abstracts.
